The Vaccines - Lonely World

I knew who you were, it was perfectly obvious
I was uncomfortable playing it cool
But I feel like I have always known you
I kept you close and I thought you would question it
Young in the night, when we stare like the rest of them
God forbid
Oh my God

I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too
'Cause it is a lonely world

Well I put off 'cause I'm painfully diffident
I played it out in my head from afar
But then trust me to go miss my moment
You disappeared to my dissatisfaction
Oh, what could have been with a little more time?
Woe is me
Oh my God

I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too
'Cause it is a lonely world

Yeah I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
If I was confident
'Cause it is a lonely world

Yeah I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too
'Cause it is a lonely world

Yeah I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
If I was confident
'Cause it is a lonely world

The Vaccines - Bad Mood

Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Oh I should loosen up some, baby I know
But I get angrier with age
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage

Oh you look disappointed in me
Oh am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be?
Yeah I know I'm always giving you the third degree
But you look disappointed in me

Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood
I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood

We'll rate, generate, generate some more
So what you singing about summer for?
Forgive me if I'm untoward
And out of order but I suspect
That with respect to your perception
You're looking in the wrong direction
As I'm sure you'll conclude
I'm in a pretty awful mood

Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
And I know I'm always putting it on you
But I get angrier with age
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage

Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood
I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood

I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood

The Vaccines - Teenage Icon

Oh look at me so ordinary, no mystery, with no great capabilities,
But I could make out as if I had it but you know,
God I'm so obvious and I should let it go, oh I don't know.

I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.

Reserved and shy, your average guy,
No piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair,
But I always figured I was somebody in wait,
And now I'm guessing that my moment must be late cause I'm here, oh

I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.

I'm not magnetic or mythical,
I'm suburban and typical,
But I got it, I got it
I'm overrun with it all.

Seductive charm a way with words so effortless
Not leather clad or dangerous,
But I always did it like a real rebel would,
I had a photo where John Lennon may have stood, or so I'm told.

I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.

I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.

The Vaccines - No Hope

Oh, I could bore you with the truth,
about an uneventful youth,
though you could get that rap from someone else.
And I could make an observation,
if you want the voice of a generation,
but I'm too self-absorbed to give it clout.

And I, I don't really care about,
anybody else, when I haven't got my own life figured out.
Cause when you're young and bored and 24,
and don't know who you are no more.

There's no hope,
and it's time to come of age.
I think it's a problem,
Does it ever go away?
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.

Oh, I could look for inspiration,
find it in the job of an English nation,
now wouldn't that be cheap and ill-informed.
And I could bet that you don't believe me,
if I said it came from deep within me,
But I promise you, I'm telling you the truth.

And I, I don't really care about,
anybody else, when I haven't got my own life figured out.
Cause when you're 24 and young and bored,
and don't know who you are no more.

There's no hope,
and it's time to come of age.
I think it's a problem,
Does it ever go away?
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.

Well, I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin,
but the whole thing feels like an exercise,
and trying to be someone I would rather not be,
I tried to second guess if you would be approving.
I find my life ever so moving,
Came wide-eyed and unassuming.
Oh, Okay

There is no hope,
and there's desperately, no hope,
and there's definitely, no hope,
If you don't believe me. Oh.

And there's no hope,
and there's desperately, no hope,
and there's definitely, no hope,
If you don't believe me. Oh

But I, I don't really care about,
anybody else, when I haven't got my own life figured out.
Cause when you're 24 and young and bored,
and don't know who you are no more,

There's no hope,
and it's time to come of age.
I think it's a problem,
Does it ever go away?
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.

There is no hope,
I know it's a problem,
and it never goes my way.
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.

The Vaccines - Change Of Heart, Pt. 2

Do ya do ya do ya think of speaking your mind
Or is it openly as lonely as it is cold
And do ya do ya do ya wanna get away
Or is it better off in the balance anyway
Later on or yeah whatever
I see now your beauty never ends

What the hell you do it's up to you
Now you've got to see it through
Tell the man you've had a change of heart

Do you make light of a bad situation
By burying your head under the sand
And eat the apple of your eye
Just because your mouth was dry
Oh well

Doesn't really matter what you need
But honest is paramount
Just tell the man you've had a change of heart

Bullet hits the wall and you'll play along
Give someone a answer and they'll think of one
Find yourself somewhere you have never been before
Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Give it time there's no appeal
You can bite the bullet, or just do it in a minute
For the love of god if you've had a change of heart
