The Pub talk, the scandals
Like vandals they try to tear you down.
The whispers turn rumours
There s no truth but that don t stop those cats.
They need that little bit extra
They don t mind if it s only conjecture.
They tried to tell me I wasn t I full time
I tried to think of an alibi
I felt so awful I spat in their faces
And ran for my life
(x2)
They need that little bit extra
They don t mind if it s only conjecture.
They tried to tell me theirs was the right way
I tried shout that that was a lie
I felt so sick I spat on their life styles
With a run away pride!
Untouched by human hands
Cause only God knows I don t call that a man
Who spends his waking days
Telling others what to think and what to say
They tried to tell me I wasn t normal
I tried to say there s no such thing
I felt so awful I spat in their faces
With a run away pride!
