What Took You So Long? Lyrics
You spend too much time sat in your bedroom, on your PC
Are you sure you couldn’t have found the time,
Swallowed your pride and admitted your jealousy
Next week you’ll trying again to put one of my city’s many front men
If you do not have the internet, would you be into them?
I very much doubt so how would they know so
what took you so long?
was there a queue at the post office?
what took you so long?
was there a dirty, double decker stage coach
you just happened to miss
sometimes i'm bad and sometimes i'm rotten
and sometimes i say things i probably
should have forgotten of the people and things
do you know who i am?
i'm like a morrissey with some strings
what took you so long?
was there a queue at the post office?
what took you so long?
was there a dirty, double decker stage coach
you just happened to miss
you're always bad and you're always rotten
and then you always say things that you just
should have forgotten
or have you had enough?
of your stereotypical bit of the rough
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
what took you so long?
was there a queue at the post office?
what took you so long?
was there a dirty double decker stage coach
you just happened to miss
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohhh
Are you sure you couldn’t have found the time,
Swallowed your pride and admitted your jealousy
Next week you’ll trying again to put one of my city’s many front men
If you do not have the internet, would you be into them?
I very much doubt so how would they know so
was there a queue at the post office?
what took you so long?
was there a dirty, double decker stage coach
you just happened to miss
and sometimes i say things i probably
should have forgotten of the people and things
do you know who i am?
i'm like a morrissey with some strings
was there a queue at the post office?
what took you so long?
was there a dirty, double decker stage coach
you just happened to miss
and then you always say things that you just
should have forgotten
or have you had enough?
of your stereotypical bit of the rough
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
was there a queue at the post office?
what took you so long?
was there a dirty double decker stage coach

woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohhh

This is a silly song. There is ALWAYS a queue at the post office.
As Fray said, its about those people who lazily spend their time in their bedroom on their computers as opposed to going out and, say, seeing live music.
I took this song to mean that there was a girl who did some, you know, live webcam porn and basically "cheating" on her man.

Bloody Awesome song. As are all of them ,but it always gets me what if you got into the band themselves by spending too much time in your bedroom ?
If the lyrics are as dreadful as this to all their songs, then I’d rather stay in my bedroom. Reads like someone trying to justify they are a credible music lover and I predict as a cynical 30 year old they are they silly middle class bores with floppy haircuts and wear tight-fitting polo shirts to obviously maintain this ‘believable’ music lover image.
Even with strings, they wouldn’t be Morrissey, so perhaps they realise they are a useless trite excuse for a band.
yet you choose to go on your PC and write abusive comments about the song. You are precisely the sort of person this song is about!! go and play the fuck out
