Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You've spent too much time sat in your bedroom

On your PC, are you sure that you couldn't have found time?

Swallowed your pride, and fit into jealousy

Well next week, you're trying again

To pull one of your city's many full men

If you did not have the internet would you be into them?

I very much doubt so, how would they know so?

[Verse 2]

What took you so long?

Was there a queue at the post office?

What took you so long?

Was there a dirty double decker stage coach

That you just happened to miss?

[Verse 3]

Sometimes I'm bad, and sometimes I'm rotten

And sometimes I say things I probably

Should have forgotten of the people and things

Do you know who I am?

I'm like a Morrissey with some strings

[Verse 4]

What took you so long?

Was there a queue at the post office?

What took you so long?

Was there a dirty double decker stage coach

You just happened to miss?

[Verse 5]

You're always bad, and you're always rotten

And then you always say things that you just

Should have forgotten

Or have you had enough

Of your stereotypical bit of the rough?

[Verse 6]

Woah, oh oh

Woah, oh oh

Woah, oh oh

[Verse 7]

What took you so long?

Was there a queue at the post office?

What took you so long?

Was there a dirty double decker stage coach

You just happened to miss?

[Verse 8]

Woah, oh oh

Woah, oh oh

Woah, oh oh

Woah, oh oh oh, oh-oh

Woah, oh oh oh, oh-oh

Woah, oh oh oh, oh-oh
