Lyrics
[Intro]
Yep
Mic testing, one-two, one-two, okay
Yeah, take your time, here we go
[Verse 1]
Who's that creeping in my window? (Who?)
I get a hot flash whenever the wind blows (Swish)
Nothing to my name now and everybody knows (Yeah)
When I'm in need of cash, I go down to the bingo (Bingo)
Last night asked Jenny for a quid (Please)
This is the fifth time I'm used to taking the piss (I am)
A bottle of Rio and some chicken and chips
In my fuck me up pumps and my Winehouse quiff
We love you Amy
Who's that knocking at the front door?
It's the mailman
Bills, bills, please, no more (No more)
I'm 20 something young with my priorities straight (Yeah)
I need to buy a booze and I need to buy a draw (I do)
This summer I'm going out every night (Yeah)
Anyone can get it, I ain't scared of a fight
What you looking at?
You can be down or be on the other side (True)
But this is my idea of the perfect life
[Chorus]
Living out your wildest dreams, yeah, we're just young and dumb
No responsibilities, don't care for anyone
[Verse 2]
Who's that over there giving it the biggen? (Who?)
Sorry officer, I don't wanna go to prison (Sorry)
I know that I was taught but I probably didn't listen (Yeah)
But taught myself to fire when I needed ammunition (That's right)
I taught myself to sing and I taught myself to shout (La la)
I taught myself how to get by and go without (Easy)
I taught myself to make a proper English breakfast (Hash browns)
Cos I'm a little teapot short and stout (I am)
I'm that girl all alone in the crowd (That's me)
Cos all of yous are followers and do it for the clout (Yeah, yeah)
I can't afford to be what everybody's on
The only way I can afford is if you do a discount
Give me a bargain
Next summer, I'll probably be overseas
I speak a lot of French, oui oui oui
Mate, you're just a hater cos my future's bright
And this is my idea of the perfect life
[Chorus]
Living out your wildest dreams, yeah, we're just young and dumb
No responsibilities don't care for anyone
Dance like there's no one around, yeah, it's just you and me
We don't care for finer things cos love is all we need
[Outro]
Yeah
So don't be looking at my face weird
I am somebody that they feared
I just wanna play my bass here
