She was waiting at the station He was getting off the train He didn't have a ticket so he had to bum through the barriers again Well, the ticket inspector saw him rushing through He said, "Girl, you don't know how much I missed you but we better run" "'Cause I haven't got the funds to pay this fine" She said, "Fine" So they ran out of the station and jumped on to a bus with two of yesterday's travel cards and two bottles of Bud Then he said, "You look, well, nice" Well, she was wearing a skirt and he thought she looked nice and yeah she didn't really care about anything else 'Cause she only wanted him to think that she looked nice and he did But he was looking at her, yeah, all funny in the eye She said, "C'mon boy, tell me what your thinking now, don't be shy" He said, "Alright, I'll try" All the stars up in the sky and the leaves in the trees All broken bits that make you trip up and grassy bits in between All the matter in the world, that's how much that I like you She said, "What?" He said, "Let me try and explain again" Right, birds can fly so high And they can shit on your head, yeah They can almost fly into your eye And make you feel so scared But when you look at them and you see that they're beautiful That's how I feel about you Right, birds can fly so high And they can shit on your head, yeah They can almost fly into your eye And make you feel so scared But when you look at them and you see that they're beautiful That's how I feel about you Right, that's how I feel about you She said, "What?" He said, "You" She said, "What are you talking about?" He said, "You" Right, birds can fly so high And they can shit on your head Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye And make you feel so scared But when you look at them and you see that they're beautiful That's how I feel about you Right, birds can fly so high And they can shit on your head, yeah And they can almost fly into your eye And make you feel so scared But when you look at them and you see that they're beautiful That's how I feel about you Right, that's how I feel about you She said, "Thanks, I like you too" He said, "Cool"

I'm heavy handed To say the least My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher 'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly I'm far too loud It's like as soon as I've got an opinion, it just has to come out I laugh at stupid things Just 'cause they tickle me And Sometimes I wish Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella She got some Pritt Stick and she glued her lips together So she never had to speak, never had to speak, never had to speak People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse, she just doesn't make a peep She marched to her wardrobe and she threw away the colour Because wearing black looks mysterious, but it didn't impress her mother She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers But Mariella just crossed her arms and so she cried for hours "Mariella Mariella My pretty, baby girl Unglue your lips from being together and wear some pink and pearls You can have your friends 'round and they can stay for tea Won't you just try to fit in please? Do this for me" But Mariella just crossed her arms and she walked up the stairs And she went into her bedroom and she sat on her bed And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself "If I wanna play, I can play with me If I wanna think, I'll think in my head" At school, Mariella didn't have many friends Yeah, the girls, they all looked at her and they thought she was quite strange And the boys, they're not really into girls at that age And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just going through a phase But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road Because she knew all the secrets in her world Yeah, she always got the crossword puzzles right every day And she could do the alphabet backwards, without making any mistakes Mariella Mariella You pretty, pretty girl Mariella Mariella Happy in your own little world Happy in her own little world And she said "Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Gonna unglue my lips from being together" She said "I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Gonna unglue my lips from being together, ha, ha, ha, ha"

Blue velvet curtains, why do you judge me? Remind me of all that, all that I can't be? Barefoot and tiptoe straight to the toilet Think of my nightmares, they've been bad lately You are not here You are not You are not here You are not I'm driving to the mountains to see snow Crying in the car park of Home Depot Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know My head is cloudy, feels like a fog Make up my bedroom, what is the point, though? Lean on the staircase, daydream for hours Maybe at night I'll creep through the house You are not here You are not You are not here You are not I'm driving to the mountains to see snow Crying in the car park of a Home Depot Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know I'm swimming in the ocean to feel cold Eating supermarket sushi all alone Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know I'm camping in the desert under stars Sleeping in a pair of your old boxer shorts Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know
