Lyrics The Courteeners

The Courteeners

The Rest Of The World Has Gone Home

Mark was there, he was chasing tail, the urban genie

On the door got offered the manners test and he failed

That girl who said she was your friend but you really hated her was there in her element

As two chunky thick set skinheads gyrated her

I was sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar

This time you've gone too far

I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine

Don't sniff keep it clean

What should I do now I am all alone?

The rest of the world has gone home

I tried to paint my feelings through this verse

Just like Neil Young did in the back of his hearse

But you won't hear much of that though in here though

It's full of cheerful chaps who whistle and leer and live on their own

I'll be sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar

This time you've gone too far

I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine

Don't sniff, keep it clean

What should I do now I am all alone?

The rest of the world has gone home

The Deansgate fireflies they blink and wink at me

I haven't felt this alone since my art GCSE

And don't bother with the tears tomorrow

You're always doing it, you're always doing it

You're always bloody doing it

I'll be sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar

This time you've gone too far

I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine

Don't swear, keep it clean

What should I do now I am all alone?

The rest of the world has gone home

What should I do now I am all alone?

The rest of the world has gone home
