I Want To Be Like Darren (A lad that I used to go to school with, I used to be jealous of him cause he used to play his own stuff in front of the whole school and was loved for it, but now I'm not jealous! That's what this song's about, and also my fascination with the fact that whenever you eat two of the same kind of apple straight after each other, they never taste anywhere near the same!!!) Followed him into the gents change rooms Measured up not a moment too soon I hang around to see what he does Inpreperation to impress those girls It just goes to show how low we go to get to know the people we want to be I want to be like Darren Pencil and paper ever ready Won't ask questions, I'm holding steady I know tongue in head, but tongue in cheek I don't want to be perceived as weak That just goes to show... I want to be like Darren I'm staring in the face of danger Life never ever felt much stranger I'm living life as a different man Wishing I could do the things he can Tha just goes to show... I want to be like Darren chorus The apple of my eye starts to go pear-shaped When things start to go from bad to worse I'll be all front, be all mouth and no backbone You'll see the skin's there, but the core's gone mouldy Why can't apples last? Or at least taste the same? |
