The Shy Retirer — текст песни (Arab Strap)

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 cunted circus never ends
i won`t remember anything you say

i lost my social skills a while ago but no i feel them coming back
my eyes were rolling when we met and now they are perparing for attack
i want to fall in love tonight and for 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
if i wat when i`m not hungy i can 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
