You Want History lyrics

Yesterday you lay awake on your bed

And worked out you'd done everything that you said

That you'd do before you got to this age

The lord of the bored and a slave to the beige

It's a mystery

It's a mystery

You want some history

It's a mystery

So last night you got up and out of this room

The ceiling is peeling and covered in gloom

But jaguar shoes is a place you can stare

A procession of lessons in what not to wear

It's a mystery

It's a mystery

You want history

It's a mystery

Today as you shake off the drunken debris

All that is left is the vague memory

Of down in the grout of a night on the tiles

It's hard to remember but totally worthwhile

It's a mystery

It's a mystery

You want some history

It's a mystery

It's a waste of money you have to admit

If it's a waste of money you have to have it

It's a waste of brains but hard to resist

If you wanted mystery you've blown it

It's a waste of money you have to admit

If it's a waste of money you have to have it

It's a waste of brain cells hard to resist

If you wanted history you missed it

If the girls start moving the boys will start moving

If the girls start moving the boys will join in

If the girls start moving the boys will start moving

If the girls start moving the boys will join in

If the girls start moving the boys will start moving

If the girls start moving the boys will join in

If the girls start moving the boys will start moving

If the girls start moving the boys will join in

Oh oh oh-oh-oh oh oh oh
