Perhaps vampires is a bit strong butWell I've seen your eyes as they flicked on me What is he doing? What on earth's the plan? Has he got one? You'd better give me some pointers Since you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just the shotgun Well I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes That might be a surprise but it's true That I'm not like you and I don't want your advice Or your praise or to move in the ways you do and I never will.

I wonder what went wrong So that she had to roam the streets She dunt do major credit cards I doubt she does receipts It's all not quite legitimate And what a scummy man Just give him half a chance I bet he'll rob you if he can Can see it in his eyes, yea, That he's got a driving ban Amongst some other offences And I've seen him with girls of the night And he told Roxanne to put on her red light They're all infected but he'll be alright Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know Said he's a scumbag, don't you know! Although you're trying not to listen Avert your eyes and staring at the ground

She makes a subtle proposition "I'm sorry love I'll have to turn you down" Oh he must be up to summat What are the chances, sure it's more than likely I've got a feeling in my stomach I start to wonder what his story might be They said it changes when the sun goes down They said it changes when the sun goes down They said it changes when the sun goes down Around here Look here comes a Ford Mondeo Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous? And he don't even have to say owt She's in the stance ready to get picked up Bet she's delighted when she sees him Pulling in and giving her the eye Because she must be fucking freezing Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky it doesn't stop in the winter, no They said it changes when the sun goes down They said it changes when the sun goes down They said it changes when the sun goes down Around Here They said it changes when the sun goes down Over the river, going out of town They said it changes when the sun goes down Around Here Around Here What a scummy man Just give him half a chance I bet he'll rob you if he can Can see it in his eyes, yea, that he's got a nasty plan I hope you're not involved at all

To all the smirking faces and the boys in black Why can't they be pleasant? Why can't they have a laugh? He's got his hand in your chest He wants to give you a duff Well secretly I think they want it all to kick off They want arms flying everywhere and Bottles as well it's just Something to talk about A story to tell yeah Well I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put it down to fate I said a thousand million things that I could never say this morning Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

Well I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put it down to fate I thought a thousand million things that I could never think this morning Got too deep, but how deep is too deep? Last night what we talked about It made so much sense But now the haze has ascended It dun't make no sense anymore Said last night what we talked about It made so much sense But now the haze has ascended it dun't make no sense anymore Ahh

A certain romanceWell oh they might wear classic Reeboks or nacked converse Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks But all of that's what the point is not The point's that there ain't 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 'em if you like We'll tell 'em all tonight They'll never listen Cause their minds are made up And course it's all okay to carry on that way And over there there's broken bones There's only music, so that there's new ringtones

And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes To see it's a little different around here Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands And just cause he's had a coupla 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 em if you like We'll tell em all tonight They'll never listen Because their minds are made up And cause it's all okay to carry on that way But i said no Oh no! Well you won't get me to go! Not anywhere, said anywhere No I won't go Oh no no! Well over there there's friends of mine What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time And yeah, they might overstep the line But you just cannot get angry in the same way Not in the same way Not in the same way Oh no, oh no no
