Your Cover's Blown

"So how do we know each other?

And how do you have my number?

Well why don't you guide me

You be the driver"

Say what you want and leave your shyness home

And you should do what you want and write a little poem

Leave it for her and live another day

And you should leave it for her, the girl around the way

Write down a list of things you wanna do

And then you leave it in work because you wanna live a little

Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini

Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money

Hey lady, put the phone down

Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it

Your cover's blown, I wanna see you alone

Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it

Your cover's blown

Planning a freak is such a tricky thing

Because you move through the country, she comes back again

And then you move through the city, but she goes abroad

Is she telling you something, is she getting bored?

I make a rough plan to sleep around a minaret

I need a change, I'm a lazy rat if I am honest

But my bold change of tact will fade out with the summer

I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers

My baby doesn't look at me the way I want her to look

She doesn't comprehend

My baby's got it going on

She's got a friend in every street in this town

I want to go out but there's nobody home-

I'll go on my own

Thus starts the lonely walking

There's always too much talking

I, I, I should have stayed home

She starts her cold caressing

The kid she starts undressing

I, I, I should have stayed home

The DJ's picking up speed

That's something I just don't need

I, I, I should have stayed home

The gossip's bearing down on me

The kids are pairing up in front of me

I should have stayed home

I should have stayed home

I think I'll go home

Listen lady, put your phone down

Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it

Your cover's blown, I need to see you alone

Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it

Listen lady, leave your phone down

Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it

Your cover's blown, I need to see you alone

Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it

Hey lady, meet my mom and dad

You're a strange operation in this land of potted plants

And funslide houses where the girls like mouses

Breathe a long sigh of resignation

You resign yourself to keep on growing

Like the seeds you're sowing

For a strange operation in this land of grammar schools

And galloped days, the lady's set in her way

Behind a long conversation from a kid named Stole

He's a little slow but in your favour it shows

Cancel all operations, tell your friends to move out to the sticks

Listen lady, leave the boy home

Cancel all operations, tell your friends there's more to you than this
