The Adventurous Type

[Verse 1]

The adventurous type would call up a friend

And make up a plan to meet, and then

The adventurous type would make his way there

And his friend wouldn't show, but he wouldn't care

'Cos everyone knows that friends are for fools

The adventurous type makes up his own rules

Much better by half to follow your nose

Do something rash and see where it goes

The adventurous type would stick out a thumb

And jump in whatever car that comes along

Now here's an interesting group of guys

All tattoos, leather, skinheads and knives

They drive and drive and drive some more

With stereo pumping and foot to the floor

They speak in a language he can't understand

But that doesn't phase the adventurous man

[Chorus]

I wanna know what it's like

I wanna know what it's like

To be the adventurous type

[Verse 2]

The adventurous type gets out of the car

And follows his new friends into a bar

And after a few unspeakable drinks

And plates of inedible food, he thinks

The Adventurous type can do better than this

He says "What's that over there?" and slips

Away through the kitchen into the alley

Into the midst of a fascist rally

They goose step, goose step,  back through the bar

His former companions are raising their arms

And singing a song the sounds of it like

"Death to all adventurous types"

Then with a crash 100 police

With tear gas and truncheons burst in from the street

Chaos ensues he runs for the door

But he's hit by a bottle and slumps to the floor

[Chorus]

I wanna know what it's like

I wanna know what it's like

To be the adventurous type

[Verse 3]

The adventurous type wakes up in a pool

Of mud and blood and fish and drool

He looks at his watch - his watch isn't there

Along with his wallet and most of his hair

That's when he notices he's on a ship

That's rolling and pitching and making him sick

He scans the horizon, no land in sight

"Oh my God. What a brilliant night!"

[Outro]

I wanna know what it's like

I wanna know what it's like

To be the adventurous type

(I wanna know what it's like)

I wanna know what it's like

(I wanna know what it's like)

I wanna know what it's like

(I wanna know what it's like)

I wanna know what it's like

(I wanna know what it's like)

To be the adventurous type

(I wanna know what it's like)

To be the adventurous type

(I wanna know what it's like)

I wanna know what it's like

(I wanna know what it's like)

I wanna know what it's like

(I wanna know what it's like)

To be the adventurous type

(I wanna know what it's like)

(I wanna know what it's like)

(I wanna sleep with your wife)

(I wanna know what it's like)
