lyrics

such a fey boy in a delicate way
you swish & you sway, it's examination day
with your shining blue eyes you offer little surprise
i know it's hard to be surrounded by mediocrity

(and they say) keep your head down for a while
keep your lovely head down for a while
and very soon you'll see...
you turn to the door with a look so forlorn
can barely remember the day you were born
who was top of the charts
and who was selling one another some arms

such a fey boy with an effeminate gaze
your eyes they graze everyone they meet
so it's no great surprise that you've been telling some lies
it seems to give you an air of mystery

keep your head down for a while
keep your lovely head down for a while
and very soon you'll see...
you turn to the door with a look so forlorn
can probably remember the day you were born
who was top of the charts
and who was selling one another some arms

such a fey boy dead quiet and strange
anticipation is such a beautiful thing
with a cynical smile you probably wish i would die
and i don't mind because quite often so do i
