Working the village shop

Putting a poster up

Dreaming of anything

Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

In the mud, on your knees

Trying hard not to please

Anyone, all the time

Being a rebel's fine

But you go all the way to being brutal

You will have a boy tonight

You will have a boy tonight

On the first bus out of town

On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games

All the girls look the same

You are challenging style for running miles

You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!

You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making

Plenty cash

While you are working for the joy of giving

You will have a boy tonight

You will have a boy tonight

And you hope that she will see

And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds

Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum

About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book

That you got free from Boots

There are lotions, there are potions

You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time

Painting lines

You sleeping at bus stops

Wondering how you got your name

And what you're going to do about it.
