[Verse 1]
He'll tell you what night life is like
A block of flats, a chav on a bike
A psycho with an ice pick
A 'pint and a fight'
Knives in adolescents all the God damn time
Knives in adolescents all the God damn time

[Refrain 1]
You were such a pretty girl
You were such a pretty girl
You were such a pretty girl
Pretty, pretty, pretty…

[Verse 2]
Since you went missing you're ink on a milk carton
Since you went missing you're just ink and
Since you went missing you're just ink and
Since you went missing…

The birds are gonna kill us and
Judgement Day's gonna be loud and
Rock 'n' Roll's never been more over than now...

[Refrain 1]
You were such a pretty girl
You were such a pretty girl
You were such a pretty girl
Pretty, pretty, pretty…
[Chorus](x2)
I don't wanna know about your life and
You don't wanna know about mine
And I'm not being cruel to be kind —
But if you ain't cool you ain't mine

I don't wanna know anymore
I want to die to Rock 'n' Roll
"The news is such a bore... I like Sonic Youth and The Fall"
I don't wanna know anymore
I want forty million licks
"The news is such a bore... I want Blue Velvet and Kubrick"

[Bridge]
Wonderfully wonderful all the time
Not a second wasted on finding a rhyme
I'll melt the ice caps myself —
One match at a time...
I'll melt the ice caps myself —
One match at a time...

[Refrain 2]
Get clever
Get clever
Get clever and I'll change the world forever
Get clever
Get clever
Get clever and we'll change the world together...
[Chorus]
I don't wanna know about your life and
You don't wanna know about mine
And I'm not being cruel to be kind —
But if you ain't cool you ain't mine

I don't wanna know anymore
I want to die to Rock 'n' Roll
"The news is such a bore... I like Sonic Youth and The Fall"
I don't wanna know anymore
I want forty million licks
"The news is such a bore... I want Blue Velvet and Kubrick"

[Refrain 2]
Get clever
Get clever
Get clever and I'll change the world forever
Get clever
Get clever
Get clever and I'll change the world forever
