Intro

    

Verse 1

when the world, it shows me up 
my clothes, they show me up 
I never knew this before
my finest hour that I've ever known
was finding a pound on the Underground 

Instrumental

    

Verse 2

when my words came stumbling out 
and then I went tumbling out 
I never believed before
and the finest hour that I've ever known
was finding a pound on the Underground 

Chorus

and I keep hoping you are the same as me
and I'll send you letters and come to your house for tea
we are who we are, what do the others know
but poetry is not for me, so show me the way to go home

Instrumental

      

Verse 3

when the words came stumbling out of my mouth
and I went tumbling out [here, no no, no no]

Chorus

and I keep hoping you are the same as me
and I'll send you letters and come to your house for tea
we are who we are, what do the others know
but poetry is not for me, so show me the way to go Oh Im going home

Chorus

but I keep hoping you are the only one 
yes and I'll send you letters and wouldnt it be such fun
we are who we are, whatever the others say
but poetry is not for me, as much as I'd like to stay Oh I just want to go home

Instrumental

      

Outro

you're, you're, you're too young 
(should've been), you, you're, you're too young 
(it should've been), you too, you're too, you're too young 
(it should've been), you, you, you're too young 
(you should've been, safer, saner)
(bribed the judge and then) sat down
ooh, you're, you're, you're too young
