Verse 1
Pepper your paper with spelling mistakes
Befriend the popular and piss-rip the geeks
Catwalk your blue shoes for attention s sake
Sniff up the glue pots and put on the shakes
Introduction x2
Verse 2
Line up the punch lines till the class cracks up
You keep your head low, till the pressure s stopped
Pull all the stops out for future Wife of the Month
Promise to hold her through blindness and health (and weâll sing)
Chorus
Grow old with me (we ll share the pitfalls)
We ll fill the sea (answer the cat calls)
We ll watch the world (fall from the inside)
We ll watch the world (fall from the inside)

How long will this last?
How long will this last?
How long will this last; these, the barren years?
Promise to hold her through these barren years
