Bide Your Time - Courteeners
Written by：Liam Fray
The temptation is all too great
To know it's gone and it's all too late
I tried and I tried but I never applied
To any of the Morals that I wish I had
You wait fifty one weeks
Through all of your hides and all of your seeks
When the time finally arrives
It dawns on me that your attention derives
From the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeve man
And the gaggles of girls who are singing too loud
Well they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads
The ones who cannot handle their booze
Their making you scared to be proud
Are ya scared to be proud
How can that still be
Come and sing your heart out with me
But if you bide your time and you stand there
And you wait in line
It won't be long before her sarong
Is lying on your bedroom floor
But what about your girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in her living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeve man
And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
Well they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads
The ones who cannot handle their booze
Their making you scared to be proud
How is that that still allowed
Why are you scared to be proud
When your on cloud number nine
And the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in her living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeve man
And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
They f**kin' do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads
The ones who cannot handle their booze
And their making you scared to be proud
Are ya scared to be proud
How is that still allowed
When your on cloud number nine
