Hey scenesters, hey hey scenesters!

Everybody's happy now
(Nobody ain't laughing now)

She was the glamourous type
There were times when you'd never have guessed it
Did you see her clothes?
Everyone said she looked like a mess, yeah!

Okay alright (you think you're the leader)
About last night (we won't ever)
I was feeling strange (one last fling)
Slightly ashamed (well I think it's alright)
Casual rubs (when we were steaming)
Said enough (well I think it's alright)
Different scenes

(Just don't go and run us down)
Just don't go and run us down

All the meek you should rejoice
Now you've found your voice
If you can't beat them don't join them
Just post rumors on forums
And I heard that it's curtains
But I could not be certain
What's that? We're history?
Oh really, that's funny
And now, you think you're right
With your reluctance to accept us
But I know that will change
When it's cool to be an outsider

I've got problems with chancers
Like groupies with cameras
You come out like leeches
To bleed us, oh jesus
Oh yeah, and one more thing
Your tone is annoying
This city's got problems
Oh you do? Well come on

And now, you think you're right
With your reluctance to accept us
But I know that will change
When it's cool to be an outsider
And I get off my face
Cause I was always uncertain
But tonight, all that will change
I'll be a new person

Take drugs, don't eat, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't eat, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't sleep, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't sleep, have contempt for those you meet

How hard can it be
To get a slap on the back from a room full of morons?
So you hate my sunglasses?
Well your precious Leeds is dead
Just so long as you know
The clean and the green
Make up you're music scene
And shy away from the words
That they've written for me
Can't you see that
Someones got their eye on you now
Don't you know?
And I don't want to be the one to let you know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't think so

You should leave it to me
We cover insignificant miles for a miniature bottle
Do you know what I mean?
I don't think so
But we go for a smoke in the Smoke
And I like what I see
It's a vicious cycle but who cares when it's happening to me?
It's obscene
Can't you see that?

Someones got their eye on you now
Don't you know?
And I don't want to be the one to let you know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't think so

You aren't allowed to say that you're better
You aren't allowed to say that cause you're the hipster type
You've got a lot to say, but don't mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type
You aren't allowed to say anything
We kicked around down water lane
But you're not all there
You aren't allowed to say anything
You left me on the street, talking to drains
Cause you're not all there

You aren't allowed to say that you're better
You aren't allowed to say that cause you're the hipster type
You've got a lot to say, but don't mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type

You like to tell yourself that I'm nobody
I think you must have known I'd make you sorry

You like to tell yourself that I'm nobody
I think you must have known I'd make you sorry

I lost my heart to a dancer
An easy pick up for chancers
What she saw in me, I don't know
When she said she'd been behaving
I found it hard to stop myself from laughing
I think I'll head off, in fact
You'd better dig me in deep guys
I won't be coming back
What's that you said, my love?
Yes, I know what you've been through
And that's why I can't stay
We can no longer cheat you

I lost my heart to a dancer
An easy pick up for chancers
What she saw in me, I don't know
She became depressed, that's down to boredom
She should have said
I could have scored some things to pass the time
Or took her out
Yeah, turning in at eight
What's that about

What's that you said, my love?
Yes, I know what you've been through
And that's why I can't stay
We can no longer cheat on you

Why don't we take a walk?
Oh, you know there's no one to tell us no
Oh, because you can't regret something that you'll forget
And that's the beauty
I like you because you're strange
Oh, but you say that you need to change
Oh, but if I dress you like me, then you'll still never be
More than your bus fare to me

Why must you have to?
You know I never wanted anything more
I must forgive you
It was only love
I never tried to
You must have known I never wanted anything more
I misunderstood you
It was only love

Do you remember when we were teens?
Oh, we were studying the same things
Oh, I'm sorry that you were wrong and that you never moved on
It's good to never belong

On your soapbox you feel so tall
No one hears so that don't mean much at all
Oh, you mean nothing to me, home town jealously
You're just a formality

Why did you have to?
You must never have known I never wanted anything more
And I never miss you
I thought it was only love
But don't ever call me
Don't ever call me, baby
Cause I won't be friendly
It was only love

What's the point in compromise?
Get your dignity and leave
Don't be too abstract though
Cos I need a signal like you wont believe
You were always late but you always had a story
But that's not over wait!
You hardly even saw me
You would always say you're a different kind of boring
Did I say that? No way
You hardly even saw me

People know the stories
And that we were in between
But I feel you need to know that
That I am so sorry now, my queen

You were always late but you always had a story
But that's not over wait!
You hardly even saw me
You would always say you're a different kind of boring
Did I say that? No way
You hardly even saw me

Thought we had a meeting
I missed what we're discussing
Someone said it's meaning
To me it means nothing

With your knife and your bottle and silver spoon
No one knows what you're going to do
So stay away from everything that isn't true
Cause when I hung around with someone else
Take your anger off the shelf
And arrange it in a way that no one else could do
But you
Cause if you're dying I'd like to know
And if you're on one I need to show
Cause you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know

I'm sixteen and I'm really bored
"But we're not going to use you we're
just scared we're gonna lose you"
Thinks are better when you are on board
I'm sure

But if you're dying I'd like to know
And if you're on one I need to show
Cause you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know
That you will always be my hero
With the way that you're letting go
And you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know

Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
I guess we were never going to be friends
I've never really liked people that are too right on
Mind you, I'd love to turn my back on everything I've preached for years
I bet that's a right laugh

Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
Because I know that you will find
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me

You were funny the other night
You were just name dropping
Talking about scene hopping
Dreaming of chart topping
I remember, just before I walked away
Wondering to myself
How someone that lives so much of their lives through other people
Could possible have so much to say

Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
Because I know that you will find
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me

You know, your scene has got a lot to answer for
Like all these clued up arseholes
Trying to set us and Wakefield at war

You know it's not right but it's something you like

Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
But you will always blow my mind
Yeah the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me

Now I'm haunted by dreams of you
And all of the things that we've been through
I'm sorry is nothing new
I'm haunted by dreams of you
Cos you was on our road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home

I'm haunted by dreams of you
I'm haunted by dreams of you

Cos we was on the road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home

Now I'm haunted by dreams of you
I'm haunted by dreams of you

But I'd a drink, it's not what you think
You mis-read what I said, and left me for dead
And you was on our road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home

Well I've been drinking for days and I'm happy to say
That we've been leading you on so you'd do it our way
You've had a little success but you're too hard to impress
So raise your standards, change your number
It's for the best
And thought I don't want you to stay
There's something about the way that
You say the words that you've rehearsed, now
I think I should explain
Things aren't gonna change
And last October when it took over
The boy was grabbed by his new controller
I'm shifting all the blame
But I still I feel the same

I didn't know what to say when I saw you alone
You say you do what you want but you do what you're told
I fell in love with you gaze, I fell in love with your name
We need to know what to say if we're playing your games

And though I don't want you to stay
There's something about the way that
You say the words that you've rehearsed, now
I think I should explain
Things aren't going to change
And last October when it took over
The boy was grabbed by his new controller
I'm shifting all the blame
But still I feel the same, yeah

And although it makes no difference I still know that
It's got nothing to do with the way i'm without you
