FFS, Franz Ferdinand, Sparks - Things I Won't Get lyrics

A Pulitzer prize an Oscar or two
Are things I won't get things I won't get

A Bentley or Benz
Well don't hold your breath
Of things I won't get things I won't get

Affairs with a star who offers me dope
Far in advance far in advance

A college degree a job with some hope
There's just no chance
There's just no chance

But when I see you lying by my side
Looking extra clean
I'm in a state where I, I don't mind
My thoughts turn obscene

String theory, thoughts on Sartre, and such
Are things I won't get things I won't get
Schoenberg and twelve-tone
And films that are French
Are things I won't get things I won't get
A chair that's designed by
Charles and Ray Eames are things I won't get
Things I won't get

But when i see you lying by my side
I understand you well
I'm in a state where I, I don't mind
I guess it's just as well

The world is so hard the people so mean
Are things I don't get things I don't get
We sit on the floor and talk about dreams
And things we won't get things we won't get

But when I see you lying by my side
Looking extra keen
I'm in a state where I, I don't mind
Just you and me and caffeine
