You don't need to shout all the time
To prove you're cool
You don't need a pantomime
To know the truth
And I don't need a couple of rhymes
To say I'm you
And darling, you think you're fine
Oh, but you're not brand new
Oh
He walks through a town in a daydream
With three layers of rolled-up sleeves
Sunglasses on so you can't see
He's everything you want to be, oh
See their lights
Oh, see their smiles
And yet you say that they're not really nothing at all
See their lights
Oh, see their smiles
And yet you say that they're not really nothing at all
You don't know where you are or where you've been
But still little kid, they expect you to know who to be
A memory test
And a few bank notes
And they'll trap you forever unless you know
You're not my type
If you know what I like
Then you can get inside
But you'll be really nothing at all
You don't need to shout all the time
To prove you're cool
I don't need a pantomime
To know the truth
And I don't need a couple of rhymes
To say I'm you
And darling, you think you're fine
Oh, but you're not brand new
Oh, see their lights
Oh, see their smiles
And yet you say that they're not really nothing at all
