The Kids Are Sick Again Lyrics
The comforting ache
of the summer holidays
Pointless days pining
Afternoons whining
The suburbs scream
at passers by
They scream of escape
Muted sirens
In wasted light
Hope takes flight
I don’t mind losing self-respect
I've done it before and I'll do it again
I'm stifled tonight, which is fine
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Billboards evanesce
Under regular beams of light
Toothpaste smiles
Don’t seem so bright
Homogenize!
Don't revise!
I don't mind losing self-respect
I've done it before and I'll do it again
I'm thwarted tonight, which is fine
You see I've done it before and I'll do it again
THE KIDS ARE SICK AGAIN
Nothing to look forward to
They jumped the cliff again
Future sinks beneath the blue
of the summer holidays
Pointless days pining
Afternoons whining
The suburbs scream
at passers by
They scream of escape
Muted sirens
Hope takes flight
I've done it before and I'll do it again
I'm stifled tonight, which is fine
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Under regular beams of light
Toothpaste smiles
Don’t seem so bright
Don't revise!
I don't mind losing self-respect
I've done it before and I'll do it again
I'm thwarted tonight, which is fine
You see I've done it before and I'll do it again
Nothing to look forward to
They jumped the cliff again
Future sinks beneath the blue

Paul said its about the boredom of summer holidays as a kid.
I see these lyrics have just been copied and pasted from MP's site... but when it's supposed to say "Billboards evanescence" it sounds like "I'm hotter than this" to me.
