A double bed

A double bed and a stalwart lover for sure

A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails

And a stalwart lover for sure

And I want the one I can't have

And if you ever need self validation

And it's driving me mad

And it's written all over my face

And somehow that really impressed

And somehow that really impressed me

But it's written all over my face

Come 'round 'cause I want the one I can't have

Come round ...

Decides to try to catch up with your biology

I want the one I can't have

It's all over my face

It's all over, all over my face

It's all over, all over, all over my face

It's written all over my face

Just meet me in the alley by the railway station

Oh ...

Oh, these are the riches of the poor

On the day that your mentality

Raised on Prisoner's Aid

These are the riches of the poor
