"He Wants To" lyrics - PAUL HEATON

PAUL HEATON
"He Wants To"

He says he's got the new record
Pretends he follows the news
He's got his finger on society's pulse
He's got it somewhere that's true

Soul, jazz, folk, funk, indie and hip-hop
He leaves no genre unturned
Play the right track, she'll be flat on her back
That's the music lesson he's learned

He wants to put his radar on you
It may not seem so at first
At first it seems he's the man of your dreams
Then takes a turn for the worst

Just 'cause he speaks a bit posher
Than you and all of your friends
Don't think he's after a different thing
When daylight comes to an end

He's probably gonna spin you some line about jazz
How he loves Dizzy and Chet
But John and Paul hanging up on his wall
That's about as jazz as he gets

He wants to put his radar on you
It may not seem so at first
At first it seems he's the man of your dreams
Then takes a turn for the worst
He wants to put his radar on you
And he'll suggest it real soon
But first he'll wine, dine and show you good time
That's why they call him the groom

And just ask him if he wants to
Come round in the morning
And just watch his pathetic face drop
'Cause vampirical schemers
Come complete with a warning
They're only ever guided by frock
His mum and dad thought
That he was trekking the world
Playing in a travelling band
He was sitting on a beach
Playing air guitar
With a coffee and an outstretched hand
