This is my face Covered in freckles With the occasional spot And some veins This is my body Covered in skin And not all of it You can see And, this, is my mind It goes over and over The same old lines And, this, is my brain It's torturous analytical thoughts Make me go insane And I use mouthwash Sometimes I floss I got a family And I drink cups of tea I've got nostalgic pavements I've got familiar faces I've got a mixed-up memory And I've got favourite places And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I hope everything's gonna be alright And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I hope everything's gonna be alright This is my face I've got a thousand opinions And not the time to explain And this is my body And no matter how you try and disable it Yes I'll still be here And, this, is my mind And although you try to infringe You cannot confine And, this, is my brain And even if you try and hold me back There's nothing that you can gain 'Cause I use mouthwash Sometimes I floss I've got a family And I drink cups of tea I've got nostalgic pavements I've got familiar faces I've got a mixed-up memory And I've got favourite places I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I hope everything's gonna be alright And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night And I hope everything's gonna be alright Oh oh oh oh oh oh
