Kissing Boys

Imagine yourself in a city far away from here
Life seems much less serious than it really is
Fashion failures beckon – those rainbow cycling shorts
We’re the greatest band that ever graced the stage – endless dreams of cool – ah.
Running eating sleeping, kissing boys
Running eating sleeping, kissing boys
Running eating sleeping, make a choice – just kiss some boys x2
Such a grown up responsibility – living your life
No more naked teen inhibitions, as we try to get and know who we are
Those days at school were long, they just went on and on
On and on. On and on.
Running eating sleeping, kissing boys
Running eating sleeping, making noise
Running eating sleeping, kissing boys – just kiss some boys
[BVs contrapuntal-ness]
She’s runnin, he’s running, we’re runnin, kissing boys

A Song Of Your Own

Measuring your life by tampon boxes
Feeling like a woman tonight, filling up a cup size. Oh!
Garden’s got a hose but only the nose knows
Feeling like a woman tonight, hairspray in the handbag. Oh!
Save yourself from yourself
No one knows what to say to you
Save yourself. Don’t go out tonight
Save up your money for the weekend
We all have a song, a song of our own
You sing your song, yourself all alone
Ponder crunchy leaves, under your shoe
Yum hum your song and I’ll hum mine too. Da, da, da, da, da, doo doo doo etc.
Why you look at me and tell me that I’m awesome?
Staring. Proof that you are flaw-some Oh!
All he ever wanted was to be a hero.
But no. Now he just tries to be retro.
Save yourself, from yourself
No one knows what to say to you
Save yourself. Don’t go out tonight
Save up your money for the weekend
You can’t buy that no more, no more for you
- must have run out or discontinued
Time for something else, something brand new
Yum hum your song, and I’ll hum mine too
Save yourself, from yourself
No one knows what to say to you
Save yourself. Don’t go out tonight
Save up your money for the weekend.

Someone knows what you do to my life
Sunlight on our skin and yes I love you forever
Feels like a feeling felt before
Love meeting love and then you slide down through the floor. Oh.
“What you could do is” – your friend
Never let feet touch the ground
We want to shake you up – our friend
And really show how it is, and really show you how it is …Ah.
Yes, you’re a fool and so am I
We know our tolerance it changes all the time. (swirly synth)
You know your place, and so do I
We keep in contact and it really matters why. Ah –
Ah
“What you could do is” – your friend
Never let feet touch the ground
You need to shake it up
To really know what I mean
An affluent lover– no friends
Champagne. Candy. Dancing
No you couldn’t make it up – this life
Greedy ill beast on the scene.
Greedy beast on the scene.
Someone knows what you do to my life
Sunlight on our skin and yes I love you forever
Feels like a feeling, felt before
Love meeting love and sink down through the floor

The Myth

Fake denim. Blonde. Gold. (Show us the real in you)
Even though she can her mind it says she’s not allowed do
Being the same, as everyone else – she thinks that’s okay.
That’s not oh
Making all this money will not help or cure or save you
Soon as you know that you’ll turn around and thank the chutzpah
Jumping off the world after the ‘magic round-a-bout’
Don’t tell us. We know. It. Won’t live it lying down
Just sense it. We feel it.
Everything he looks at - make him feel so worthless
Life must seem so bleak when you cannot afford those flyknits
Seeing the world – seems so far away how can you compare
Yourself to those who you don’t know
Different lives and landscapes, jets and five-star spa locations
They mean nothing, I’m telling you, if you’re dead inside.
If you’re dead
Don’t tell us. We know. It. Won’t live it lying down
Just sense it. We feel it.
Perfected. The moment. When we jump for joy.
Just know it. Admit it. This myth that life is shit.
