Sitting in the house with my trainers on Winter ain't about so the days are long We all planned a trip to the beach But I spent too many minutes in the shower so my mates are gone They did warn me but I'm a tiny bit vexed I'll give 'em all piece of my mind in a text And if they ring my phone I'll pretend I can't hear it You could probably call it a fight to the death As soon as I could talk any sense as a kid They said my attitude was beastly it still is Proof that I was born to be an offensive king The only guy ruder then me is prince Philip I'm not sorry that they have to read my nonsense I showered for long enough to clean my conscious And how could I be when they're out by the sea While I'm trying to keep my head above deeper problems
[Prechorus] This is not a happy song I've got it badly wrong It's my chance and now it's gone, Wo-oh
[Chorus] x 2 It's a nice day for those plans But time waits for no man You're try'na call your gang They're lying on the sand And if sitting in your house is your business now And to figure it out you sent signals out But you fear they were ignored You're the chairman of the bored
Sitting in the shade as the day drags on Had a cigarette break that was eight fags long [fag = Brit slang for cigarette] The future doesn't look that bright to me And it ain't because Pane has Ray-bans on So I've given up I'm getting sick of calling me mates And I'm looking for a heroine it's all in vain It's the wrong day to phone girls they're fiancees I'd give them a ring but they're all engaged Can't go for a ride 'cause my bike's f*cked up I consult my neighbor and see if he can fix it Doesn't think the problem can be solved today 'Cause it involves more labour than a Miliband trip [Edward Miliband UK Labour Party leader] I give up all hope It gets dramatic I even watch a couple of soaps [soaps = soap operas] Then a girl calls back and says "can we meet in an hour?" Hmm I'm guessing I'll be needing a shower
[Prechorus] This is not a happy song I've got it badly wrong It's my chance and now it's gone, Wo-oh
[Chorus] x 2 It's a nice day for those plans But time waits for no man You're try'na call your gang They're lying on the sand And if sitting in your house is your business now And to figure it out you sent signals out But you fear they were ignored You're the chairman of the bored
I'm searching for a way to make things right All I've been into so far is wasting time So instead of going hunting for action I'll just sit right here and wait for something to happen
[Chorus] x 2 It's a nice day for those plans But time waits for no man You're try'na call your gang They're lying on the sand And if sitting in your house is your business now And to figure it out you sent signals out But you fear they were ignored You're the chairman of the bored
