Lyrics

[00:25.71] I'm bored out my mind
[00:28.29] Too sick to even care
[00:31.04] I'll take a little walk
[00:33.00] Nobody's going to know
[00:36.25] I'm in senior year
[00:38.55] It gives you a little free time
[00:42.55] I'll just use it all at once!
[00:45.96] Took the fence and the lane
[00:48.73] The bus then the train
[00:51.30] Bought an 'Independent' to make me
[00:53.44] Look like I got brains
[00:56.62] I made a story up in my head if anybody would ask
[01:02.34] I'm going to a seminar!
[01:05.83] I'm a genius
[01:11.21] I'm a prodigy
[01:15.34] A demon at Maths and Science
[01:19.96] I'm up for a prize
[01:25.72] If you gotta grow up sometime
[01:28.79] You've gotta do it on your own
[01:35.12] I don't think I could stand to be stuck
[01:38.46] That's the way that things were going
[01:45.57] The bible's my tool
[01:47.57] There's no mention of school!
[01:50.03] My Damascan Road's my transistor radio
[01:55.36] I tune in at night when my mum and my dad start to fight
[02:01.25] I put on my headphones
[02:04.33] And I tune out
[02:09.25] I am devout
[02:12.98] The girls are singing about my life
[02:17.93] But they're not here
[02:19.12] They've got the wild life
[02:23.99] If you want to find out
[02:26.57] Find out
[02:27.41] You got to look them in the eye
[02:33.57] That's why my only choice
[02:37.89] Is find the face behind the voice
[03:07.33] She asked the man if the service was open
[03:10.73] “Not today
[03:12.33] Just the choir from the radio”
[03:14.54] “Couldn't I sit in?
[03:16.22] I've come all this way”
[03:17.98] “Will you bugger off
[03:19.67] I've got work to do”
[03:22.83] The city was losing its appeal
[03:29.45] God was asleep
[03:30.53] He was back in her village in the fields
[03:36.45] “Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
[03:43.85] I wish that I could sing
[03:46.43] I'd stay in a melody
[03:48.72] I would float along in my everlasting song
[03:51.89] What would I do to believe?”
