Wake up again and the world ain't changed
It's just the same as I left it
I yawn and stretch and vow once again
That I'll change it right after breakfast
But it's always the same
Hey hey hey

You've got sex, got drugs, got rock, got roll
Got god, got soul, got money
I've got bus stops, fish shops
Motorways and icepops
And not much else to commend me
Ain't it always the same?
Hey hey hey

I never wanted to be
Pasty and winsome like me
I always wanted to be
Lithe and handsome and free
Won't you stand aside?
My train has well and truly arrived

I watch - resigned to my fat behind
Bad dentistry and haircut
You wash and go, and shimmer and glow
And I've never seen owt quite like it
And it never changed
Hey hey hey
I never wanted to be
Pasty and winsome like me
I always wanted to be
Lithe and handsome and free
Won't you stand aside?
My train has well and truly arrived

I've never felt more like a wayward second cuz
When I walk alone under city skies
Waiting for the bus
No sex, no drugs, no god, no style
No class, no roll

This bloody city and me
Are the only things that I ever see
Take me anywhere specific from Atlantic to Pacific
Is there somewhere I can live and be free?
Then I'd feel alright
Then I'd feel alright
