lyrics

You were born into the land of signet rings and summer houses
Me, into the province of the personalised number plate
Oh how thrilling it must be to have money but no taste
Safe behind the electronic gates

You were raised with the relentless extraversion of evangelicals
Taught that you’re uncredited if you’re not centre stage
Then they took away your God
and let the floodlights bleach your face
A shivering understudy giving sermons in your place

And you, will never love me
And that’s okay
Think of all the energy I’ll save
Praying to a god, I made up just to
Prove I can
Fuck everything and think like a big strong man

Oh sweet darling, do you ever shut up?
You know I hate it when you interrupt
Let’s go out on the town, your search is through
You’ve finally found a girl who’s smarter than you

-will never love me
And that’s okay
Think of all the energy i’ll save
Praying to a god, i made up just to
Prove I can
Fuck everything and think like a big strong man

And when i play you this song
Here’s what you’ll say
‘I love the breakdown in the middle eight’
And you’ll ignore that strange pulsating thing
I tore out from my chest
You don’t see me rip my heart out
All you see is ugly red
I guess that’s what artists do
Wish I could be a big strong man like you

Never never, never be good enough
Never never, I’ll never be good enough
Never never, I’ll never be good enough
Never never, I’ll never be good enough
