How long have you worn that dress
The colours shows all the mess
But they don't want that kind of thing round here
You've been trying too hard it's clear
You've been dieing to dry those big tears

You've got a head full of library books
Your mother had all the looks
But they don't want that kind of thing round here
You've been trying too hard it's clear
You've been dieing to dry those big tears

Do you know what they all think about you
Do you know how they can't live without you

You've got a head full of common sense
But that's not much recompence
'cause I don't want that kind of thing round here
I've been trying too hard it's clear
Now we're dieing to dry those big tears

How long have I worn this shirt
The colours shows all the dirt
They don't want that kind of thing round here
I've been trying too hard it's clear
