Lyrics

Moral

[Verse 1]

These New Romantics are oh so boring

I could swear I've been there once or twice before

Like you

I should grow wings and just forget the club

You know the legends never wanted to be me

Far too erratic to be okay, so?

If you're concerned, well, I don't care

You play games and you play safe

Me, I just sighed with relief

And ice creams and your eyes will shine like some boys, nothing

Well, I'd soon scream out your words and mine

[Verse 2]

Matthew's mother, the change disturbs me

You're everybody's friend, age, I suppose

Don't you?

Just like religion, you're going nowhere

Like your so-explicit clothes onto the floor

You're mine tonight

On those occasions when everything broke down

Including you and me

See the boy, see the girl

The exhibition now is over

And ice creams like some, yours and mine

And something down like cries
