Lyrics

[Intro]
Why should I care?
Why should I care?
[Verse 1]
Girls of fifteen
Sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing
Eau-de-cologning
The seats are seductive
Celibate sitting
Pretty girls digging
Prettier women
[Verse 2]
Magically bored
On a quiet street corner
Free frustration
In our minds and our toes
Quiet stormwater
M-m-my generation
Uppers and downers
Either way blood flows
[Chorus]
Inside outside
Leave me alone
Inside outside
Nowhere is home
Inside outside
Where have I been?
Out of my brain on the 5:15
Out of my brain on a train
Out of my brain on a train
[Verse 3]
A raft in the quarry
Slowly sinking
Back of a lorry
Holy hitching
Dreadfully sorry
Apple scrumping
Born in the war
Birthday punching
[Verse 4]
He man drag
In the glittering ballroom
Gravely outrageous
In my high heel shoes
Tightly undone
They know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic
That their heroes are news
[Chorus]
Inside outside
Leave me alone
Inside outside
Nowhere is home
Inside outside
Where have I been?
Out of my brain on the 5:15
Out of my brain on a train
Out of my brain on a train, on a train
Wow, I'm out of my brain, wooh
Out of my brain on a train
Here it comes
Wooh, out of my brain
On the train, on the train
Out of my brain on a train
[Outro]
Why should I care?
Why should I care?
