Lyrics
(Words: steven page/ed robertson, music: steven page/ed robertson/jim creeggan)
Everywhere I go someone's
Tryin' to by my girlfriend's best friend
I try to pretend I'm relaxed
But I'm playing castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space
But a guy's always there ready
To jump right up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems
To want to make a big fool out of me
Everybody open your mouth
(Everybody, everybody...)
Everybody just say "ahh"
(Ahh, ahh, ahh...)
Everything will be alright
If you play along
Everywhere I go there's someone in a trenchcoat staring at me
When I'm not at home I'm sure someone's
Rumaging through my trash
Whatever could they want from me?
Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram shaped rash
Everybody open your mouth
(Everybody, everybody..)
Everybody just say "ahh"
(Ahh, ahh, ahh..)
Everything will be alright
This won't hurt at all
Everybody get in line
(Everybody, everybody..)
Everybody turn and cough
(Ahh, ahh, ahh..)
Everything will be alright
If you just lay off
Dictate a memo to myself
Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there are some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league
But me.
Every night in the lane someone thinks
They've got to find beyond me.**
I try to take three deep breaths
As I lock in on my mini-van
Everyone says I'm looking great
But it's hard to stand up
Let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone I knew hadn't
Sold out to the man
Everybody open your mouth
(Everybody, everybody..)
Everybody just say "ahh"
(Ahh, ahh, ahh..)
Everything will be alright
This won't hurt at all
Everybody get in line
(Everybody, everybody..)
Everybody turn and cough
(Ahh, ahh, ahh..)
Everything will be alright
If you just lay.
Everything will be alright if you just lay.
