Mean Streak

All aboard the roundabout of calamity and doubt
Sums my life up perfectly, well at least it does for now
There’s that feeling of dread
The romance ahead
Might flat-line again
And your Mum already wants me dead
It rattles round my head
And all of our friends just don’t seem to get us
Whispering things to each other are they jealous
Of the two of us, coz we found love, and they just missed the bus
I’m nice but I’ve got a mean streak
Buried under, don’t you ever want to be
Like me, let me see your mean streak
They could try to put me down I swear I’ll bite the vet
I’m like smoke in your eye when you have a cigarette
And I’ve made up my mind
I’m never gonna die
I’ll kick the grim reaper
In the balls and make him cry
I’m your Mr. Right yet?
I promise that I won’t cheat at scrabble
I’ll grind Buckingham palace down for the gravel
Of our drive, so say that you’ll be mine
I’ll make you feel alive.
I’m nice but I’ve got a mean streak
Buried under, don’t you ever want to be
Like me, let me see your mean streak
And my cheeks have started aching,
From this smile I’ve been faking
Aren’t you getting tired of never winning
Then its time you played the villain
I’m nice but I’ve got a mean streak
Buried under, don’t you ever want to be
Like me, let me see your mean streak
