The Outdoor Type

Song The Outdoor Type
Artist Frank Turner
Album The First Three Years

Lyrics

I always had a roof above me,
I always paid the rent
And I've never set foot inside a tent
I couldn't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type
Well, I've never slept out underneath the stars
The closest that
I came to that was one time in my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know that you knew what you were looking for
I lied until
I fit the bill,
God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
Never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike
No, I can't go away with you on a rock-climbing weekend
What if something's on
TV that's never shown again?
It's just as well
I'm not invited, as
I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim, can't grow a beard, or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type.
