Arab Strap - The Shy Retirer lyrics

Another bloated disco, Another sniff of romance I'll forget We promised to ourselves before we came out We'd do something we regret These people are your friends This c*nted circus never ends I won't remember anything you say I lost my social sk**s a while ago But now I feel them coming back My eyes were rolling when we met And now they are preparing for attack I want to fall in love tonight And form the perfect unbreakable bond You can be my teenage Jenny Agutter Swimming naked in a pond You know i'm always moanin' But you jumpstart my seratonin But how d'you know you've ever really loved? But when I feel like this, I know it doesn't matter When I eat when I'm not hungy I'm sure I feel my face get fatter Then I thin out every weekend and I think that she might want me But I always slip off my own 'cause... I let those feelings haunt me, they control me, But tonight I'm letting go You're more then just a photo album, You're more than what some people let you know And if we ever make it home, I'll tell you all the things that shaped me thus; Something forged in a phonebox but lost in a restaurant We've got so much to discuss Here, have you tried the blue ones? I hear he's got some new ones Sleep is not an option tonight Look at us just stand and stare Look at them just pose and pout And we'll all be standing here Until the pigs chuck us out
