Lyrics:

You're not as messed up as you think you are
Your self-absorption makes you messier
Just settle down and you will feel a whole lot better
Deep down you're just like everybody else

She's not as pretty as she thinks she is
Just picture her after she's had kids
I bet she sits at home and listens to The Smiths
Deep down she's just like everybody else

So why are you sat at home?
You're not designed to be alone
You just got used to saying "no"
So get up and get down and get outside
Cos it's a lovely sunny day
But you hide yourself away
You've only got yourself to blame
Get up and get down and get outside

He's not as clever as he likes to think
He's just ambitious with his arguing
He's crap at dancing, yeah and he can't hold his drink
Deep down he's just like everybody else

I'm not as awesome as this song makes out
I'm angry, underweight and sketching out
I'm building bonfires on my vanities and doubts
To get warm just like everybody else

So why are you sat at home?
You're not designed to be alone
You just got used to saying "no"
So get up and get down and get outside
Cos it's a lovely sunny day
But you hide yourself away
You've only got yourself to blame
Get up and get down and get outside

Amy thinks that life is lacking in drama
So she fell for horoscopes, faith-healing and karma
She's so wrapped up in her invisible armour
She'll never grow into herself
And it's OK thinking me and all my friends are just wasters
But saying that I can still see through her heirs and graces
I bet she's scared her life won't leave any traces
Caught up like everyone else

That's not the point anyway
Oh darling, I felt compelled to call you up to say...
So why are you sat at home?
You're not designed to be alone
You just got used to saying "no"
So get up and get down and get outside
Cos it's a lovely sunny day
But you hide yourself away
You've only got yourself to blame
Get up and get down and get outside

[WeeRossJ]

that drummer should be shot. it sounds so lazy, i just sat here willing it to go faster, and i think frankyboy did the same.

[LamStock]

drumming doesn't always have to be about speed or hundreds of fills, sometimes it's about what suits the song. FT is a perfectionist so I doubt he'd have the drummer in the band if he didn't like it

[SneakyGoblin]

So you're Lam! I remember Frank mentioning ya. Awesome gig, do ya have any more from that night?

[LamStock]

yeah i have 3 more songs, i'll stick them up soon. glad you liked it. post it on facebook etc

@WeeRossJ

You're an idiot. Drumming does not always have to be fast or a big showy part of the song. Sometimes it is just the backdrop and this song is great.

@WeeRossJ drums sound perfect. go play your own kit critic

[SneakyGoblin]

[SneakyGoblin]
