Thought i was better than you Foyer of Chiltern Firehouse Bloated spleen, brown slip-ons, watercress on the chin White suit, patriarchal figure, lipstick on the collar Who's thinner than who, who's speaking more lowbrow Day ghosts raised by long faces I was alone mum but you said nothing Just off chirpsing that alcoholic And everyone says yah Can I?, Can can can I? And I sometimes say yah Can I?, Can can can I? And all the posh kids go yah Can i be this way? Can i be this way tonight? And I'm with a dangerous man On our way to posh school Kensington Tricksy's in the back, she made no effort at all And the yah yah's are screaming at us Scared of the bohemians And all the posh girls go yah Can I?, Can can can I? And i go, yah Can I?, Can can can I? And everyonе goes yah Can i be this way? Can i be this way tonight? Tonight, and you nеver know where the old things go to die And you never feel the old things go to hide I'll be lost in your sweet arms So you're the Aylesbury boy, sailing close to the wind You got to let go of the dark thoughts Funny smiles and broken china, for this is now Pinot sunsets and Burger King trousers We are future carrying the past like rancid meat Boys and girls who dare to dream and love to say yah Can I?, Can can can I? And everyone says yah Can I?, Can can can I? And all the posh kids say yah Can i be this way? Can i be this way tonight? Everybody is gonna love you boy Shine bright on this concrete floor Love is lost and all Aylesbury boy
