La-la-la-la

[Verse 1: Bernard Sumner]
It's been ten long years since I've been home
I've been waiting here with nowhere to go
It's an occupation I don't like
But it pays the rent and turns on the light

[Chorus: Bernard Sumner & Dawn Zee]
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and runaway with me
We'll go out every night
I'll be there by your side
And we'll all get high down the old west side

[Verse 2: Bernard Sumner]
If it ain't the job and it ain't the place
But I must stay for your pretty face
It's a bad reaction I can't fix
You conned me with those feline tricks
[Chorus: Bernard Sumner & Dawn Zee]
And I told you so
It's a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy
And a no-good girl
And I told you so
It's a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy
With a no-good girl

[Bridge: Dawn Zee]
Ooh, yeah
Take her, take the world
Ooh

[Chorus: Bernard Sumner & Dawn Zee]
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and run away with me
We'll go out every night
I'll be there by your side
And we'll all get high down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
[Outro: Dawn Zee]
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
