Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
But I never set foot inside a tent
I couldn't build 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 until I fit the bill
God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag
Let alone a mountain bike
I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if something's on tv, and it's never shown again?
Just is 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
Always paid the rent
But I never set foot inside a tent
I couldn't build 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 until I fit the bill
God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag
Let alone a mountain bike
I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if something's on tv, and it's never shown again?
Just is 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!
