Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the day that your mentality Decides to try to catch up with your biology Come round [Chorus] 'Cause I want the one I can't have And it's driving me mad It's all over, all over, all over my face [Verse 1] On the day that your mentality Catches up with your biology [Chorus] I want the one I can't have And it's driving me mad It's all over, all over, all over my face [Verse 2] A double bed and a stalwart lover, for sure These are the riches of the poor A double bed and a stalwart lover, for sure These are the riches of the poor [Chorus] And I want the one I can't have And it's driving me mad It's all over, all over my face [Verse 3] A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails Raised on Prisoner's Aid [Chorus] He killed a policeman when he was thirteen And somehow that really impressed me And it's written all over my face [Verse 4] Oh, these are the riches of the poor These are the riches of the poor [Chorus] I want the one I can't have And it's driving me mad It's written all over my face [Verse 1] On the day that your mentality Catches up with your biology [Outro] And if you ever need self-validation Just meet me in the alley by the Railway station It's all over my face
