LYRICS

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 a buy 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

Living out your wildest dreams yeah we’re just young and dumb

No responsibilities don’t care for anyone

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

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

Yeah

So don’t be looking at my face weird

I am somebody that they feared

I just wanna play my bass here
