lyrics

and there's a room i used to know
lost it's meaning as time went on
i started to complain but i stopped short
as i looked around and nothing's wrong

there's a girl sebby wants to know
we need more money for our souls
i took what i had and i bought your self control
but it went down like a sugar pill

we're sorry bout your birthday
we didn't mean to miss it
to carry on like this
we'll try to make it next year
we'll make it up

so we gathered up all our friends
toasted in some effervescence
june came by to try and drown us in the past
but nobody's gonna bring us down
you've no
motivation if, not the sun,
ben's got moving pictures that pay our fun
we've got nothing on them but we're still smiling away

we're sorry bout your birthday
we didn't mean to miss it
to carry on like this
we'll try to make it next year
we'll make it up

yeah there's the room you lost your soul
dig it out beg them for some more
don't you see it now you've got them on the ropes
now let's put it away

we're sorry bout your birthday
we didn't mean to miss it
to carry on like this
we'll try to make it next year
we'll make it up
