Lyrics

Shock Horror

Tell you the same thing that they told me
Worth your weight in gold?
Should I practice what I preach man?
Should I just do what I'm told?
Because the clock keeps ticking
Lets hope we don't grow old oooooooh

O-o-oh (3x)

Tell them the same thing that you told me,
Are you worth your weight in gold?
Should I practice what I preach man?
Should I just do what I'm told?
High court jury! would you scream guilty?
I'd never claim somebody used me,
I used to be so filthy

And are you happy when they tell you?
Should it worry you at all?
Does it help you when they preach man?
Does it mend your broken bones?
You know they say that I'm a lightweight,
Well the worry weighs a ton.
If i make it to the top don't come and save me,
Cause I'll be at the bottom having fun

With a little bit shock shock horror
A limp jumped body on the floor
A f-cked up old school friend
And a kicked down door.
And the boy can sing (And the boy can sing)
The boy can dance (The boy can dance)
Misplaced a whole week man
Left out the romance

Love yeah not what you've bought or sold
I'm not a rat, this life it shouldn't be a race man!
Do you really make the money then go home?
Don't even accuse me cause I'll go on the run,
But i suppose it'd be easy where to find me
Cause I'll be at the bottom having fun

With a little bit shock shock horror
A limp jumped body on the floor
A f-cked up old school friend
And a kicked down door.
And the boy can sing (boy can sing)
The boy can dance (boy can dance)
Misplaced a whole week man
Left out the romance

And I feel sorry for you man, I feel sorry for you man
I feel sorry for you man you forgotten how to clap your hands

I feel sorry for you man, aaah
I feel sorry for you man, aaah
I feel sorry for you man you forgotten how to clap your hands

I feel sorry for you man, aaah
I feel sorry for you man, aaah
I feel sorry for you man you forgotten how to clap your hands

I feel sorry for you man, I feel sorry for you man
I feel sorry for you man, I feel sorry for you man
I feel sorry for you man you forgotten how to clap your hands

I feel sorry for you man, I feel sorry for you man
I feel sorry for you man, I feel sorry for you man
I feel sorry for you man you forgotten how to clap your hands

Tell them the same thing that you told me!
