[Verse 1]
My teacher doesn't stand a chance
When all I can think about is my school-yard romance
He says
"Look at the next generation what a state
I wouldn't laugh if I were you mate"
[Pre-Chorus]
Silence makes the darkest sound
[Verse 2]
Down The Gangway for some one on one
She un-squared me with her cola bottle tongue
She's one of those who has an open mind
But she knows it all anyway so I'm just wasting time
[Pre-Chorus]
As silence makes the darkest sound it's
[Chorus]
Better when you're around
You know me
Inside out
You know when
To sit me down
And sort me out
Growing up true is hard to do [2x]
[Verse 3]
When I go to sleep at night
I wake up blind because my dreams are so bright
Can't wait to die, come back as something else
Knowing my luck I'll come back as myself
[Pre-Chorus]
As money makes the world go down
[Chorus]
It's better when you're around
You know me
Inside out
You know when
To sit me down
And sort me out
Growing up true is hard to do [4x]
It all adds up to zero
And counts for nothing now
It all adds up to zero
When you're not around
