[Verse 1: Skuff]

Out for the count

I am not in and my name's not down

I am not involved, I make no sound

Little fish swimming in a playground town

My name rings no bells I've made no moves

I've got no game and I've paid no dues

I've never made it rain I'm an amateur a geek

And no one on the corner lacks swagger like me

Whatever makes you happy or gets you through the day

You can dress me up however and i'd still look a state

A man with no cheddar, no love and no way

No taste for the finer things but neither have my mates

I wish I was special, didn't wear spectacles

Played hard and worked all professional, you're so fucking special

Beautiful and socially acceptable, I wish I was special

When you were here before it shook me up inside

Worst type of fear I couldn't look you in the eyes

Beautiful people put you in your size

It's the root of all evil to hate your own life

Just like an angel, blinding like the skies

Your presence here is painful and your skin makes me cry

Cos you're just like the magazines say we should be like

And you've probably got a bag of dreams being realised

You float like a feather with a texture of pearl

Shine like the weather in a beautiful world

Superhuman girl meets real life [?]

And I just can't deal like the devil and I wish I was special

Airbrushed, touched up and settled

Never wore motherfucking spectacles, I wish I was special

Beautiful and socially acceptable, I wish I was special


[HOOK]


[Verse 2: Skuff]

I don't care if it hurts or I need to act cold

Don't care if it's worth it, I wanna have control

Don't care if it's work or who needs to get told

I just hope that I'm dead cool before I get old

I want a perfect body and a perfect one to hold

I want perfect trainers and I want a perfect soul

You know, with a heart in my chest of solid gold

And a fire in my belly that will never run cold

I want you to notice it and maybe get down

Only cos I'd like to know I'm missed when I'm not around

No shit, I wish I was a part of this crowd

Cos they look just like the adverts dancing around

And you're so fucking special

Don't wear spectacles, play hard and work all professional

I wish I was special

Beautiful and socially acceptable, I wish I was special

Dickhead, geek, nerd, tosser, [?], tool

Loser, dweeb, jerk, knob, daft fool

Wasteman, absurd never won at school

Weirdo man, I'm so uncool

Never been respected except for 1 or 2 songs

Always been pathetic never been strong

The hell am I doing here? This picture's all wrong cos I never did belong (x2)
