back to the day I was born on
 they slapped me into line as it crossed my mind
 I've felt better
 I've felt worse

 this is my life & it's all very well but
 never again
 as they say
 "we've been robbed"
 & don't you know that
 this time

 love
 just love yourself like no one else
 love
 it's enough
 they can say what they like but they still can't
 take that

 distance myself from the things I'd like but
 everyone has something I need
 don't let me wake up and find
 all those others leaving me behind

 if you don't have a clue about life
 then I'm happy happy happy to say
 neither have I although
 I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb
 this time
 cos there's something I deserve

 love
 just love yourself like no one else
 love
 it's enough
 they can say what they like but they still can't take that

 picture my house in a postcard town
 picture a bomb in the sky
 history at the door who could ask for more?
 I've felt better

 so kill me with love
 just love yourself like no one else
 time's so scarce where I come from
 let them say what they like cos they still can't
 take your
 love
