lyrics

[Intro]
You don’t need to shout all the time
To prove you’re cool
You don’t need a pantomime
To know the truth
And I don’t need a couple of rhymes
To say I’m you
And darling, you think you’re fine
Oh, but you’re not brand new!
Oh!

[Verse 1]
He walks through a town in a daydream
With three layers of rolled-up sleeves
Sunglasses on so you can’t see
He’s everything you want to be, oh!

[Chorus 1]
See their lights!
Oh, see their smiles!
And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all!

[Post-Chorus]
See their lights!
Oh, see their smiles!
And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all!

[Verse 2]
You don’t know where you are or where you’ve been
But still little kid, they expect you to know who to be
A memory test
And a few bank notes
And they’ll trap you forever unless you know

[Chorus 2]
You’re not my type
If you know what I like
Then you can get inside
But you’ll be really nothing at all

[Bridge]
You don’t need to shout all the time
To prove you’re cool
I don’t need a pantomime
To know the truth
And I don’t need a couple of rhymes
To say I’m you
And darling, you think you’re fine
Oh, but you’re not brand new!

[Chorus 3]
Oh, see their lights!
Oh, see their smiles!
And yet you say that they’re not really nothing at all!
