The Selecter - Washed Up and Left For Dead lyrics

It's common knowledge there's always one exception Not quite a part of the crowd He tries so hard, just to laugh in the right places But he knows it's just not funny He has this feeling, he just knows it They don't like him 'cos he's different He knew all about the no-go areas But he went there just the same He was washed up and left for dead Nobody told him he was just not wanted It got so cold after midnight Oh yeah Don't want the money He just wants the fame There's something driving him inside His friends don't like him 'cos they think that he's so stupid So he just goes out on his own He saw a movie that night and it moved him It was just like his life story But he got jumped by some thugs On the way home No-one came to his rescue He was washed up and left for dead Nobody told him he was just not wanted It gets so cold after midnight Oh yeah Night after night he's out biting the pavement Hurt his hands clapping for the group He can't dance, but he can certainly cause trouble Yeah, ah -ooh He was washed up and left for dead Nobody told him he was just not wanted It gets so cold after midnight Oh yeah
