歌词

[00:08.44] We're all going on a summer holiday
[00:11.68] Vigilante's coming out to follow me.
[00:14.46] Heard somebody say they're out to collar me.
[00:17.08]
[00:17.68] Anybody who wanna swallow me?
[00:20.59]
[00:25.84] It takes two to tumble. It takes two to tango.
[00:29.20] Speak up; don't mumble if you're in the combo.
[00:33.30] On the beat, on the beat.
[00:36.26] Till a man comes along and he says,
[00:38.07] 'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
[00:41.01] Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'
[00:44.63]
[00:46.42] See your friends in the state their in.
[00:49.48] See your friends getting under their skin.
[00:51.89]
[00:52.45] See your friends getting taken in.
[00:55.06]
[01:02.35] Well, if you only knew the things you do to me.
[01:05.65] anything I'd do to confuse the enemy.
[01:08.46] There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me.
[01:11.39] Take it easy. I think you're bending me.
[01:17.97]
[01:20.28] I've been a bad boy with the standard leader.
[01:22.62] My neighbor's revving up his Vauxhall Viva.
[01:25.99]
[01:27.00] On the beat, on the upbeat.
[01:30.00] Till a man comes along and he says,
[01:31.52] 'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
[01:34.52] Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'
[01:37.29]
[01:39.97] See your friends walking down the street.
[01:42.93] See your friends never quite complete.
[01:46.05] See your friends getting under their feet.
[01:49.37]
[02:13.34] Oh, I don't want to disease you,
[02:15.46]
[02:16.34] but I'm no good with machinery.
[02:17.80]
[02:19.92] Oh, I don't wanna freeze you.
[02:21.54]
[02:22.35] Stop looking at the scenery.
[02:24.04]
[02:25.35] I keep thinking about your mother.
[02:27.39]
[02:28.39] Oh, I don't wanna lick them.
[02:30.58]
[02:31.44] I don't wanna be a lover.
[02:33.77]
[02:34.46] I just wanna be your victim.
[02:35.94]
[02:37.37] I don't go out much at night.
[02:38.88]
[02:40.31] I don't go out much at all.
[02:42.12]
[02:43.25] Did you think you were the only one
[02:45.35]
[02:46.34] who was waiting for a call
[02:48.81]
[02:49.49] On the beat, on the beat, on the upbeat.
[02:53.72] Till a man comes along and he says,
[02:54.80]
[02:55.42] 'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
[02:58.39] Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'
[03:01.15]
[03:03.70] See your friends treat me like a stranger.
[03:06.69] See your friends despite all the arrangements.
[03:09.64] See your friends Nothing here has changed.
[03:12.64] Just the beat.
