The Outdoor Type Lyrics
Always had a roof above me always paid the rent and I never set foot inside a tent couldn't build a fire to save my life I lied about being the outdoor type I never slept out underneath the stars the closest that I came to that was one time my car broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night I lied about being the outdoor type too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for I lied untill I fit the bill God bless the great indoors I lied about being the outdoor type I never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend what if somethings on TV and it's never shown again It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights I lied about being the outdoor type never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight I lied about being the outdoor type

"I can't go away with you on a rock-climbing weekend, what if something's on TV and it's never show again" could be like THE most brilliant/clever/funny lyric ever written. I love it!
oh come on great song! I always lie to get girls its funny!
I think this is probably the most clever song he's ever written. It's funny, but doesn't over-do the humour. I wish I was this good at writing songs.
I aggree.Great song.But it has been written by Tom Morgan not Evan Dando.
im an outdoor girl this song is just plain sweet
It's not really lying if you're doing it to make somebody happy is it? Reminds me of my sport hating ex-girlfriend and the panic in her face when I'd ask her what she thought about the cricket LOL. I see why she loves Smudge so much.
Yeah, I agree, brilliant song and hilariously funny.
I might be Robinson Crusoe here but I get the feeling that the writer is actually disguising a subtle mockery of the typical "outdoor type" manly man with self-deprecation. Anyone else getting that?
