Lyrics
Ordinary boys Happy knowing nothing Happy being no one but themselves
Ordinary girls Supermarket clothes Who think it's very clever to be cruel to you
For you were so different You stood all alone And you knew that it had to be so Avoiding...
Ordinary boys Happy going nowhere Just around here in their rattling cars
Ordinary girls Never seeing further than the cold, small streets that trap them
But you were so different You had to say no When those empty fools Tried to change you and claim you For the lair of their ordinary world
Where they feel so lucky So lucky, so lucky With their lives laid out before them They're lucky, so lucky So lucky, so lucky So...
