lyrics

Woke up dark and early
And I put a little make up on my pale face and some
Nail polish for my toes and fingers
I wanted to be like my favourite singer
Headed out to the black sky and rain
Normies and the morons on the light side in pain
But I'm in love with the sleet and stone
Listening to little children on my walkman ear phones

Laaa laaaa laaa laaaaa laaa la la la

She said

Good grief, you're a goth kid sweetie
Why do you have this interest in something so beastly
Why now this big obsession with the colour black?
Do I have to worry that you'll need to take some prozac?

At night we all drank spirits
Sitting up in trees within the graveyard till its
Late enough for the dealers to wake
And we'd had enough of all that vodka to waste
We went far enough if the world was spinning
We went far enough but we were never grinning
But I'm in love with these ancient stones
Listening to little children on my walkman ear phones

Laaa laaaa laaa laaaaa laaa la la la

He said

By jove you're a goth kid sonny
You better keep your nurocks and your trench coat shiny
You'll never get a good job if your hair is greasy
You'll never meet a girl if your shirt is creasy

The dirt on my clothes
Growing all the time
The strain on my body
Was thinning out my life
Ecstatic in our temple
Of social housing grace
For that epic feeling
That mythologised the place
And when it all came down at last
I had more than just a headache
After years spent on the carousel
Spinning without a break
