The 1975 - The Birthday Party lyrics

[The 1975 - The Birthday Party lyrics]

Hello there's a place
I've been going
There's a place I've been going
Now I'm clean it would seem
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen
As sad as it seems
I seen Greg and he was like
"I seen your friends at the birthday party
They were kinda fucked up
Before it even started
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show
They didn't know about all the weird stuff
So they just left it" (So they just left it)
I was wasted (I was wasted) and cold
And minding my business

And I seen the girls and they were all like
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"
Listen, I got myself a missus
Says there can't be any kissing
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up
Kid it's all Adderall now
It doesn't make you wanna do it"

"This ain't going well"
I thought that I was stuck in Hell
In a boring conversation with
A girl called Mel
About her friend in Cincinnati
Called Matty as well
You pulled away when I went in for the kiss
No, it wasn't a diss
You put the tap on to cover
Up the sound of your piss after four years
Don't you think I'm over all this?
"That's rich from a man who can't
Shit in a hotel room
He's gotta share for a bit"
You make a little hobby out
Of going to the lobby
To get things that they don't have

Does it go through ya when
I'm talking to ya?
You know that I could sue
Ya if we're married and you fuck up again
Impress myself with stealth and bad health
And my wealth and progressive causes
Then drink your kombucha and buy an Ed Ruscha
Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm
Not made of it look, the fucking state of it
I came pretty late to it
We can still be mates 'cause
It's only a picture

All your friends in one place
Oh, we're a scene whatever that means
I depend on my friends
To stay clean as sad as it seems
As sad as it seems (Alright)
As sad as it seems (Come on)
