LYRICS

Size of the mosquito bite on her face

Swelled up to the size of a great big bite

Like a boxer after a fight

She won't go out see her friends

Say they don't love her anymore

She's insecure

Well I wouldn't have guessed

Ain't it strange where we come from

I do hope my friends love me for more than just my shining blue eyes

And my vocal roar

Do not air your political views

With Reg around, you're bound to lose

He won't talk to you if you wear blue jeans

That's extreme

Hot dog, feel the pain

You look sick

I'll look the other way

Hot dog, what a shame

Look so cool

But you all look the same

What's gone wrong with looking over your shoulder

Your beautiful song will bowl me right over in pain

John felt he was so detached

He spilt jam on his three piece suit

He really lost his rag

He went mad, he went mad

Martine won't be seen in public

With her Mum who's just hypnotic

There she's judged by who she's with

And the company she keeps

The company she keeps

Ain't it strange where we come from

I do hope my friends love me for more than just my shining blue eyes

And my vocal roar

And my charming disposition
