I know it wasn't far, we're leaving, oh, really we're leaving

Says he's gonna break my band
I just have to take that hand and put it down
And can you hear the shouting?
I'll be there acting a hundred
I'm so used to boys and ' what did he say about a

Lido Pier suicide car, Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide, suicide car
