Bide Your Time (Acoustic / Remastered 2022)

[Verse 1] Well, the temptation is all too great And now it's gone and it's all too late I tried and I tried, I never applied Any of the morals that I wish I had [Verse 2] You wait fifty whole weeks Through all of your hides and all of your seeks And when the time finally arrives It dawns on me that your attention derives [Pre-Chorus] From the girlfriend that you left at home Sitting in the living room all alone [Chorus] You hate the suntan And you can't stand to be around the short-sleeved man And the ugly girls who are singing too loud And they fuckin' do my head in You hate the tattoos And you can't stand the skinheads The onеs who cannot handle their booze And thеy're making you scared to be proud Are you scared to be proud? Why on Earth are you scared to be proud? Come and sing your heart out with me [Verse 3] But if you bide your time And you stand there and you wait in line It won't be long before her sarong Is lying on your bathroom floor [Pre-Chorus] But what about the girlfriend that you left at home Sitting in your living room all alone? [Chorus] You hate the suntan And you can't stand to be around the short-sleeved man And the glitzy girls who are singing too loud They fuckin' do my head in You hate the tattoos And you can't stand the skinheads The ones who can't handle their booze And they're making you scared to be proud Are you scared to be proud? Why are you scared to be proud When you're on cloud number nine?
