Lyrics

My flatmate told me
Said that you'd rung while I was out
Celebrating being young
And I was thinking while I was drinking
I'd like to think I'm an adventurous chicken..
I never know when the night has ended
I'm more stupid than god intended!
Instead of listening to the don'ts
I just do
It's true! it's true! it's true..
I'm not through yet!
I wish I was teenage
Instead I am your grandad
I thought when I reached 27
I'd be either in hell or heaven
Had a heart attack and went epileptic
Almost prophetic as it was pathetic
I looked grim
Shook the cold hand of panic
Said, "have a nice death."
But I'm no titanic
And now I'm riding like the headless horseman
On the run! on the run! on the run, yeah!
I wish I was teenage, instead I am your grandad!
Living like a teenage grandad
Looking rahter sad
My way is to be way out there
Living like a teenage grandad
Looking rather sa
My way isn't your way out..
I never know when the night has ended
Man I'm more stupid than god intended!
Now I'm htere
Living like a teenage grandad
Looking rather sad
My way isn't your way out..
