My mate Jeff

I've known him for years

He loves his Madonna 

and his Britney Spears

But then one day

I noticed a change

We went all moody 

and he didn't look the same

His eyes looked black

I said have you got a shiner? 

When I looked closer

he were wearing eyeliner

He'd straightened ‘is hair 

and combed it ovver ‘is eyes

And all at once I realised…



Oh, no

He's turned Emo

He's dressing like a goth

And he's let himself go

He used to be listening to Simply Red

now he's listening to Fall Out Boy instead



Well he weren't at the Labour Club

for our regular line dance

He just stayed at home 

and listened to My Chemical Romance

I said you're not an emo

lets forget this misdemeanour

Come wi me and see 

Cliff Richard at the MEN arena

He said “I'm feeling all emotional 

I don't know why” 

I said its those tight trousers 

that are making you cry

Come an have a pint a mild

And you'll feel fine

And listen to Abba

Not Bullet for My Valentine



Oh, no

He's turned Emo

He's dressing like a goth

And he's let himself go

He used to be listening to Simply Red

now he's listening to Fall Out Boy instead



Well I saw him yesterday 

When I were walking to tha station

I could tell from a distance 

he were wearing foundation

He paints his fingernails black 

An It looks quite poor

It looks like he's caught his fingers 

in a car door

He were wearing a man bag

that said ‘Jimmy Eat World'

I said thas wants fert eat 

a chippy tea

ya great big blummin girl

He said “I just want my emotions to be exposed”

Emotions? Thas from Lancashire, thas not got none of those!



Oh, no

He's turned Emo

He's dressing like a goth

And he's let himself go

He used to be listening to Simply Red

now he's listening to Fall Out Boy instead
