Here they come with their make up on
as lovely as the clouds come and see them
Boys and girls and their mums and their words
and their romances and jobs and their sons
Barking mad kids lonely dads
who drug it up to give it some meaning
From the raves to the council estates
they're reminding us there's things to be done.
But you and me all we want to be is lazy
you and me so lazy...
Here they come gone 7 am
getting satellite and Sky getting cable,
Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends
who just really, really want to be loved,
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests
helping out around the disabled,
From the flats and the maisonettes
they're reminding us there's things to be done.
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy,
you and me, so lazy...
It's you and me, it's you and me, you and me...You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes.
Your silence hurts like a lover's lie.
Your mama walks such a fragile line.
The tears will love, but you don't cry.
With a trembling hand you wave goodbye.
Gonna catch a plane to another life.
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please everyone.
As you streak across the sky,
You feel the loneliness coming on.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
And all your life you've heard it said
That you could never quite fit in,
Till you froze your heart,
Acted like you couldn't hear them
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please him
You show a little pride,
But as you touch down you wonder if he's really waiting.
Oh, maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Close your eyes, you see his face.
Hear his voice, his skin you taste.
Too many nights you spent alone.
Your arms just reaching out for someone to hold.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine. (Maybe this time.)
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
