You spend too much time sat in your Bedroom on your PC. Are you shure that you couldnt have found the time swallowed your pride, and admitted your jealousy? And next week, you'll be trying again to pull one of your citys many frount men. If you did not have the internet would you be into them? I very much doubt so and they know so... What took you so long? was there a queue at the Post Office? What took you so long was there a dirty double decker stagecoach you just happened to miss? Sometimes I'm bad and sometimes I'm rotten sometimes I say things I probably should have forgotten,about people and things do you know who I am? I'm like a morrissey with some strings What took you so long was there a queue at the Post Office? What took you so long was there a dirty double decker stagecoach you just happened to miss? Your always bad and your always rotten and you always say things that you should have forgotten,or have you had enough of your stereotypical bit of the rough? And so they all go...What took you so long was there a queue at the Post Office What took you so long was there a dirty double decker stagecoach you just happened to miss? And so they all go....
