Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms stucked in socks

But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there is no romance around there


And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree

Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh, it's a funny thing, you know?

We'll tell them if you like
We'll tell them all tonight
They'll never listen

Because their minds are made up
And course it's all OK to carry on that way


Cause over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it doesn't take no Sherlock Holmes

To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong though there's boys in bands

And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a couple of cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead


Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell them if you like

We'll tell them all tonight
They'll never listen
Because their minds are made up

And of course it's all OK to carry on that way
But I said no, oh no!
Well oh, you won't get me to go

Not anywhere, not anywhere
No, I won't go, oh no, no?


But over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known them for a long long time
And they might overstep the line

But you just cannot get angry in the same way
No, not in the same way
So not in the same way

Oh no, oh no, no!
