The Standard Lamps dim and dismal

Select language to translate this lyric

Why live a dim and dismal life
Stumble into dreamless nights
No boys fighting out tonight
On my street
Then whilst they're tucked up tight
I read about other peoples lives
And just wait around for someone to set me free
Did you hear the one about the boy
Who was into his computer screen
Got all the news he needed from his mobile phone
And when he left his house he went insane
For his world would end when he saw the morning rain
Its twisted up his head now we leave him alone
But he made the news
And his face was on the front page
And now he's shaved his head
And changed his name
Oh what a shame
Why live a dim and dismal life
Stumble into dreamless nights
No boys fighting out tonight
On my street
Then whilst they're tucked up tight
I read about other peoples lives
And just wait around for someone to set me free
Did you hear the one about the girl
Who messed around on the dirty ground
When the photographs came out the word spread around the town
And when she walked past the corner shop
Her name was sprayed out on the town hall walls
Now she stays indoors and she wears her hair down
Now her flat is up for lets
And the dealers are placing bets
But the mayor of the town
Will be making
No comments
Why live a dim and dismal life
Stumble into dreamless nights
We swear we spit we fight
We all fall down
And when we reach the end of the night
And the old men dream in black and white
I'll just wait around for someone to set me free
Set me free
Set me free
One day
