Embarrassing kid looks into the mirror
And grins like an idiot at his own face
For as long he lives he will not be delivered
From the stuff that he did, from his teenage mistakes
I can barely believe it
How I went and let the old school down
Yeah, whatever can I have been thinking of?
Embarrassing kid, I squirm at the memory
Try to bang down the lid on the can of worms
It remains pretty strange and uncomfortable territory
Where my secrets are hidden, however absurd
I can hardly conceal it
How my ashen face got drained of blood
Yeah, everybody can have a damn good laugh
Embarrassing kid, you don't know the half of it
But I'd stake a few quid you've got gaffes of your own
Take a look at yourself and you might have to laugh a bit...
But the teeth that you grit, well at least they're your own
And yes at the end of the day
We get what we've given away
You bet: our eternal embarrassment
