A Certain Romance

Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks

Or knackered Converse

Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks

But all of that's what the point is not

The point's that there ain't no romance around there

And there's the truth that they can't see

They'd probably like to throw a punch at me

And if you could only see them then you would agree

Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know oh it's a funny thing you know

We'll tell 'em if you like

We'll tell 'em all tonight

They'll never listen

'Because their minds are made up

And 'course it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones

There's only music so that there's new ringtones

And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes

To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong oh there's boys in bands

And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands

And just 'cause he's had a couple o' cans

He thinks it's all right to act like a dickhead

Don't you know oh it's a funny thing you know

We'll tell em if you like

We'll tell em all tonight

They'll never listen

Because their minds are made up

And 'course it's all okay to carry on that way

I said no

Oh no

Oh you won't get me to go

Anywhere anywhere

I won't go

Oh no no

Well over there there's friends of mine

What can I say I've known 'em for a long long time

And yeah they might overstep the line

But you just cannot get angry in the same way

Not in the same way

Not in the same way

Oh no oh no no
