Lyrics

Sitting Up Straight

Sitting up straight on the back of a bus
Mimicking time as evening turns to dusk
Well, look at the boy with his face on the floor
So, I have a little smoke to pass the time of day
Oh yeah, oh yeah

He's like me, he would do anything to get away
I know, can you believe it every day?
I know I can't believe in you
It means everything and every pound of me

Sitting up straight on the back of a bus
Mimicking time as evening turns to dusk
Well, look at the boy with his face on the floor
I have a little smoke to pass the time of day
Hey, hey, hey, hey

He's like me, he would do anything to get away
I know, can you believe it every day?
I know I can't believe in you
It means everything and every pound of me, let's go

Sit up straight
Sit up straight
Sit up straight
Sit up straight
Sit up straight

On the back of a bus
On the back of a bus
On the back of a bus
On the back of a bus
On the back of a bus
