Rip away your ties and find a new squeeze 
Show a local scheme your generosity
Stand back in the shadows and be a right hand man
Buy a brand new semi next door to the Taliban
Who knows what's around the bend
Stay up get drunk with all your best friends
Celebrate your side to a new division
Leave the TV on, make a decision when you're

waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else 
waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else
