I've tried going to discos

Throwin' shapes on the floor

Nuthin' ever happens

I don't go any more

Girls never know

What I'm talkin' about

So I think I'll just take

The easy way out



I'll just sit in my room

With all the lights off

My mother and father 

Think I'm gone daft

I stay home with

The music I love

I stay home with you



The day of the vinyl

Long player is gone

It's all cassettes and cd's

from now on

In this world of my own

I can travel afar

I don't need

A bus, plane a bike

Or a car



I'll just sit in my room

With all the lights off

My mother and father 

Think I'm gone daft

I stay home with

The music I love

I stay home with you



Stay at the heartbreak hotel

Take a ticket to ride

Up on route 66

Or down highway nine
