"Basic" lyrics - DECLAN MCKENNA
[Chorus:]
I can't say I'm into it, but who am I to moan
I'm your saint, I'm your hypocrite, at your end of the phone
So make clear your interest, and make sure you're alone
'Cause I am dying
[Refrain:]
'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own
I'm fine, borderline, so bad it hurts
Think fast with your money 'cause it can't get much worse
I get told that I'm far too old for number one perks
But it's well worth trying
I'm good in the neighbourhood, can play a big part
I bought this for a thought, for a kiss, for a tale of a broken heart
I guess we are a thing gonna him, gonna him, but they think there's a start
That leaves me crying
[Refrain:]
'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own
[Chorus:]
I can't say I'm into it, but who am I to moan
I'm your saint, I'm your hypocrite, at your end of the phone
So make clear your interest, and make sure you're alone
'Cause I am dying
[Refrain:]
'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own
[Bridge:]
We are only living our separate lives
Except we do the same things at the same times
I kept to the moral guidelines that you set
For now I'll step towards my leader and disguise my lies like I'm king set
[Chorus:]
I can't say I'm into it, but who am I to moan
I'm your saint, I'm your hypocrite, at your end of the phone
So make clear your interest, and make sure you're alone
'Cause I am dying
[Refrain:]
'Cause you're basic, and you're basically on your own
