See You When You're 40 (Live At The Brixton Academy)
I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance
Cause I want tonight
What I've been waiting for
But I've found tonight
What I've been warned about
You think you're complicated
Deep mystery to all
Well its taken me a while to see
You're not so special
All energy no meaning
With a lot of words
So paper thin that one really feeling
Could knock you down
And I've seen tonight
What I've been warned about
I'm gonna leave Tonight
Before I change my mind
So see you when your forty
Lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers
You'll never need to know
Not sad because you lost me
Sad because you thought
It was cool to be sad
You think misery will make you stand
Apart from the crowd
If you had walked past me today
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
Now I've seen tonight
How could i waste my time?
And I'll be on my way
And I won't be back
Cause I've seen tonight
What I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a man
And I'm not coming back
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance
Cause I want tonight
What I've been waiting for
But I've found tonight
What I've been warned about
You think you're complicated
Deep mystery to all
Well its taken me a while to see
You're not so special
All energy no meaning
With a lot of words
So paper thin that one really feeling
Could knock you down
And I've seen tonight
What I've been warned about
I'm gonna leave Tonight
Before I change my mind
So see you when your forty
Lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers
You'll never need to know
Not sad because you lost me
Sad because you thought
It was cool to be sad
You think misery will make you stand
Apart from the crowd
If you had walked past me today
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
Now I've seen tonight
How could i waste my time?
And I'll be on my way
And I won't be back
Cause I've seen tonight
What I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a man
And I'm not coming back
