"One day I'm gonna a freeway truck driver
Picking up guys along the way," you said
Well I think all these thoughts of American movies
Have gone right to our heads
And all this talk about a glamorous dream
Seems too funny as our bus turns a corner onto the estate
All the houses here are lonely
Yet all the Christmas decorations are the same
"Would I be sitting here with you
If there something else to do in Nottingham?" your eyes say
I don't think so
I don't think so
Both your parents think I'm too polite
And my mother thinks you're simply delightful
Is this ever going anywhere?
I don't think so
I don't think so
So we pretend this town's the coolest place we've ever been
Yet I feel like I can hardly breathe here
All the walls are closing in brief
And counters can't buy you love and so on
"Thirty minutes till someone comes home," you said
As you lay me down on your cousin's bed
And I close my eyes as I try to
Forget about the pain that we're both going through
Are we ever going to get somewhere if all we know is
Nottingham
For Christ's sake?
I don't think so
I don't think so
(Are we ever gonna go far?)
(In Nottingham)
I almost didn't recognize you today
You've gone and bleached your hair again and got another piercing
So when your call came out of the blue well I've gotta admit
I was thinking about you
You look up at me from the foot of the bed
With that lie in your eyes telling me that you want me
I think you even screamed "I love you"
I just smiled and let the moment take me away
Cuz deep down I know that you don't want your high school boy from
Nottingham for Christ's sake
I don't think so
I don't think so
All I can ever do is touch but
I want you so f**ing much tonight
Is this ever going anywhere?
I don't think so
I don't think so
I don't think so
I don't think so
