Well, I'm off to meet my fortune in the big old world You know, it won't take long to get where I'm going And you'll soon forget me if you've got any sense in your sleepy head Dirty blue jeans and bloody knees We slept all night in a nightclub toilet All my friends are in debt I was the only one with any money left I left my house at midnight I let the pale moon light my face Rusty as a teaspoon and twice as useless I'm sick of s**ing on second hand air I've gotta get off the train and have an affair With the pretty girl sitting across from you You know that she would do; any girl would do Oh, don't talk Talk to me about pa**ion I spent it all I spent it all And then I saved it up And I'm off to meet my fortune in the big old world You know, it won't take long to get where I'm going Maybe it'll help me to feel myself again
Dirty blue jeans and bloody knees I have my arm round you in the stranger's doorway Selfishness was always the coolest flaw You don't need to tell me twice You leave your parents for your friends For your new-found cooler friends Then you meet a guy, you stop seeing your friends Oh, don't talk Talk to me about caring I spent it all I spent it all And then I saved it up And I'm still in control I'm still in control Well, I'm off to meet my fortune in a big old world Mother nature (and the...?) couldn't stop me And you'll soon forget me if you've got any sense in your sleepy head Dirty blue jeans and bloody knees We f**ed all night in my brother's old bedroom And if it doesn't work out, I'll come home and be alone I'll be alone I'll be alone
