Martin Weller - Pay Attention Lyrics

We'd go out at lunchtime we'd get wrecked
We were destroyed, if not shipwrecked
She's a miserable bitch, with a hell of a body
Got arrested when we were ten

I escaped my old life still standing up
Acid wouldn't let us light a spliff
I'm not a driver babe, I never have been
The cars in the field were shape shifting

We had a five minute paranoia trip
We bombed up the stairs but it took ages
I said hey fellers what shall I do with the plant
Y'all said "smoke it man" - but I didn't inhale none

I've changed my mind - Be that as it may
Pay attention to me people
I've got something that you want me to say

The musically deprived are in tonight
Either that or it's deaf week, It's a bed of nails Albania
In the morning crush on an overcrowded bus

I'm not quite myself as you might have guessed
Indulgent, well you could say so
But if you've any idea get what's going in my mind
We could be heading down the same road

Am I making it up as I go along
When there's so much to play for
Well if it don't work out I'm not afraid
I can find a way back 'cause I've been there before

I've changed my mind - Be that as it may
Pay attention to me people
I've got something that you want me to say
