[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
