Acrylic Lyrics

you're just like plasticine
being molded into a libertine dreamer
i feel so sorry for you
if you were 13 i'd let you off
but you're not and you should have known better

got all my thoughts on a notepad
with a parker pen
and write you a letter but
theres not enough paper in the world
theres not enough paper
oh have you heard
all your friends go
dadada dadadaaaa oh
all the words they seem to know
all the words in your songs go
dadada dadadaaaa oh
you got an okay jacket
but you've got no spine
please vacate this city of mine

i only wish you had this song
to back-up, you're talking so long
but we know thats not the case
rather show your face
in a name-checked bar
that nobody goes in
because they serve substandard gin
nobody goes in there did you win
did they ask well no-one cares

dadada dadadaaaa oh
all the words they seem to know
all the words in your songs go
dadada dadadaaaa oh
you got an okay jacket
but you've got no spine
please vacate this city of mine

you're just like plasticine
being molded into a libertine dreamer
i feel so sorry for you
if you were 13 i would let you off
but your not and you should have known better
got all my thoughts on a notepad
with a parker pen
and write you a letter but
theres not enough paper in the world
theres not enough paper in
oh have you heard
your friends they go

dadada dadadaaaa oh
dadada dadadaaaa oh
dadada dadadaaaa oh
dadada dadadaaaa oh

you got an ok jacket
but you've got no spine
please vacate this city of mine

you got an ok jacket
but you've got no spine
please vacate this city of mine

gather my thoughts..

i only wish you had the songs to back up your talk That's going on (?) but we know that's not the case Rather show your face In a namechecked bar that nobody goes in

It's either namechecked or ancient - going from the theme of the song i reckon it's namchecked. It's not injured anyway, sorry but that doesn't make sense

I thought this might be about a specific band but couldnt think who it might be. Or maybe he is singing it about themselves but from a haters point of view - puttin them in the same catergory as The Libs.....maybe THE ONE is right and it is simply directed at the bands that came from The Libertines?

Also its "all the words in your songs go" not sons

I'm pretty sure it's about themselves, from the point of view of a person who didnt like the band, and it is name-checked not ancient.
