Sometimes you've got to get away
If i had a car i'd drive it
To a place where they don't know my face
Change my clothes, my shoes, my hair and my name
But i'll stay next to you
Not sure what happens when we get there
We're just in love with going somewhere
And it's easy to grab fifteen seconds of fame
But the last nine or ten get so hard to sustain
I'll stay next to you
So long to princess mourners
Farewell you fuel protesters
And future generations will not appreciate your
Miniscule improvements to the living standards index
That you earned at the expense of all their lives and
All their children
Oh, we're not getting any younger
No, it's not getting any better
And if life's like a road full of hazards and bends why
Do we act surprised when it comes to an end
I'll stay next to you
So we leave the car and take the train and set off in
The pouring rain
Travel light, standard class
Half the legroom, twice as fast
Look at the world that flashes by
The countryside, the power lines that seem to race
Along with you
Well it's near the end of the school day so i send a
Text back home to say
Sorry mum and dad and bro, i couldn't stay, i had to go
To london with someone
Before i come undone
Cos where i'm from's a humdrum town and i don't want to
Die
We're gonna work our way into the centre of the crowd
And i for one will be appalled if i'm not shocked at
What's allowed
Disculture, so jammin'
No need to examine no magazine or tv screen to know
What's going on
