[Intro]
I was away

[Verse 1]
Seven hundred bastards
They all want their own bed
Three different courses
Pretend they are dead
I was away, lucky palms
I was a way for them in town
I was away with a new tan
And I got one just in spite of them

[Chorus]
I was away, I was away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away
I was away

[Verse 2]
Virtual man
Thinking the first child is his friend
He had everything you want
Littering plastic and being a dope
[Chorus]
I was away, I was away
I was away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away
I was away

[Verse 3]
Always just a promise
Clearly didn't want us
Five chips in a looking glass
Can't even describe that
I was away
How does it feel, man?
To get in, tuck you in
And carry nothing but empty bags
Obviously not
I would just nod
But I can't stop feeling I'm God

[Chorus]
I was away
I was away
I was away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, I was away
[Bridge]
Laying in a silent car
Quiet electric
Quiet down

[Verse 4]
Who's that with the balding earwig?
Who's that with a bucket of hairspray?
Who's living in a coma for silence?
Who's in love with the balding earwig?
I was away
I was away
Here's one for the confidence
I hope it's benched, cos I need a friend
Five seconds alone with you
Five, ten, what's up with that?
I was away
I was away

[Verse 5]
Who's that with the balding earwig?
Who's that with a bucket of hairspray?
Who's living in a coma for silence?
Who's in love with the balding earwig?
Nicely pattern choker dance
A joke key for a lamp post
New down and in beautifully barefoot
Fish replaced in sparkling water
Four euro worth of pick 'n' mix
The cousin maths rotten at badminton
Tooth fairy at the florist
Tattoos his suit first thing in the morning
A brief encounter with the most normal
I play footsie by myself
Crush every paper glass with my head
Bruised by the over use of eyelids
[Outro]
I was away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away
