lyrics

Forget all this solitude
Let's try some social ineptitude

A look in the mirror
A straightened hair
I shake my head at the state of me
A shrug, a laugh
Some bubble bath?
Forget that, I'm me!

Date night, it's a date night...

In front of the wardrobe
A horrid place
I open up see the junk inside
A shrug a laugh
A shirt and tie?
Forget that, I'm me!

Date night, it's a date night...

Irises warp twist back the clock
Get dressed again don't mess it up
Irises warp turn back the clock
Try it again don't screw it up

I get to the bar, and there she is
A low cut top and a mini skirt
I trip and fall
A goofy mess
For fucks sake, I’m me

Date night, it's a date night...

She drains a drink and sashays by
A pity grin and a head held high
I spit I swear, screwed up again
Why the hell am I me?

Date night, it's a date night...

Like Lego bricks, we're gonna break up this scene
Coloured blocks smashed up obscene
Rearranged into new directions
Less of a shit mess, more of a success
Social success, conversation mind chip
Psychedelics and the Elephant Six
Townhall, falling down this Donnie Darko tube
From the bar to the bathroom then to my room
Aliens send me a fucking robot Gok Wan
Making over this mess, can it be done?
Should it be done? Will it be done?
Set my wardrobe on fire and my phasers to stun
Rainbows swirl and clocks tick in reverse
Tearing backwards the time and universe
Slow this down it’s a marvel to behold
Let’s not be cold, lets type this shit in bold
A wonder to behold, give me your hand to hold
Through to old age, new page, marriage
But first my image, lets sort out my image
So let’s get back to the makeover
Robot Gok, chop chop, start the supernova
Haircut, make up, go clothes shopping
Haircut, you there, start the chopping
Trimming, consult and restyling
New hair’s flaming and we’re flying
Flying through those Lego clouds
Let’s get strapped into that outfit now
And while we’re at it, let’s lose that shit
Attitude to life, attitude to you
The social misfit says fuck you!
Let’s not fuck you, but maybe do
Some fucking too, some loving you
But not alone, let’s try with two
Or three or four, or fifty more
That’s what this makeover is for
I'm gaping now, please lift my jaw
An ego boost, refill my juice
I’m feeling frisky, lovely, loose.
