The Courteeners - Bide Your Time lyrics

The temptation is all too great To know it's gone and it's all too late I tried and I tried, but I never applied To any of the morals that I wish I had You wait 50 whole weeks Through all of your hides and all of your seeks When the time finally arrives It dawns on me that your attention derives From the girlfriend that you left at home Sitting in the living room all alone You hate the suntan And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud Well, they do my head in You hate the tattoos And you can't handle the skinheads, the ones who cannot handle the booze They're making you scared to be proud Yeah, you're scared to be proud I cannot still be Come and sing your heart out with me But if you bide your time and you stand there and you wait in line It won't be long before her sarong is lying on your bedroom floor But what about the girlfriend that you left at home Sitting in the living room all alone You hate the suntan And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud Well, they do my head in You hate the tattoos And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze They're making you scared to be proud Oh, is that still allowed? You're scared to be proud When you're on cloud #9 And the girlfriend that you left at home Sitting in the living room all alone You hate the suntan And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud Well, they f**ing do my head in You hate the tattoos And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze They're making you scared to be proud Oh, you're scared to be proud Oh, is that still allowed? When you're on cloud #9
