On the day that your mentality
On the day that your mentality
Decides to try
catches up with your biology
To catch up with your biology
I want the one I can't have
Come 'round
and it's driving me mad
 
it's written all over my face  
'Cause I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face  


On the day that your mentality
(repeat)
Catches up with your biology
 
I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face


A double-bed
A double-bed
And a stalwart lover, for sure
and a stalwart lover, for sure
These are the riches of the poor
these are the riches of the poor


A double-bed
A double-bed
Line 44: Line 36:
These are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor


And I want the one I can't have
(refrain)
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over my face


A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
raised on Prisoner's Aid
He killed a policeman when he was thirteen
he killed a policeman when he was
And somehow that really impressed me
thirteen
It's written all over my face
and somehow that really impressed
me
it's written all over my face


These are the riches of the poor
On the day that your mentality
These are the riches of the poor
catches up with your biology


I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's written all over my face
On the day that your mentality
Catches up with your biology
And if you ever need self-validation
And if you ever need self-validation
Just meet me in the alley by the railway-station
just meet me in the alley by the
It's all over my face
railway-station
 
it's all over my face

Lyrics

On the day that your mentality catches up with your biology I want the one I can't have and it's driving me mad it's written all over my face

(repeat)

A double-bed and a stalwart lover, for sure these are the riches of the poor

A double-bed And a stalwart lover, for sure These are the riches of the poor

(refrain)

A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails raised on Prisoner's Aid he killed a policeman when he was thirteen and somehow that really impressed me it's written all over my face

On the day that your mentality catches up with your biology

And if you ever need self-validation just meet me in the alley by the railway-station it's all over my face
