lyrics

I said :
"Excuse me baby - what do you see?
is it just a sentimental fool?
You’ve been sitting (believe me) too close to the TV
and that shit will make you cruel"

she said :
"Why this compulsion to inflict
your bone-crushing banality?"

I said :
"I propose a bender cos I’ve reach the end of my personality"

And now it’s getting harder and harder just to get my engine started
so I bring my supercharger in my bags pre-packed for my departure

"Just tell me who you're riding with"

She said :
"Are you lonely when you're alone?"

I said :
"No, I got some place to play - where there's no repercussions for overconsumption
- and everything else can wait"

She said :
"well, what's your hot take on psychology?"

I said :
"Happiness it ain't too good for the economy, so never dream past seventeen, you're gonna be badly misunderstood"

And now it’s getting harder and harder
just to get my engine started
so I bring my supercharger
and I'll get under the hood (you know that I would)
to try to start her up
I beg your pardon
you know I used to be such a charmer
but now I'm painted fifty shades darker
just a superyacht rusting in harbour

"Tell me who you're riding with tonight?"

And now it’s getting harder and harder
just to get my engine started
so I bring my supercharger
and I'll get under the hood (you know that I would)
to try to start her up
I beg your pardon
you know I used to be such a charmer
but now I'm painted fifty shades darker
just a superyacht rusting in harbour

"Tell me who you're riding with tonight?"
