I’ve just come back from the youth club

Mum and Dad are watching telly

But I’m all alone in my bedroom

Yeah



At the youth club I was dancing

In the disco with my girlfriend, Sharon Smedley

Yes I was



But then she went to the toilet

And after ten minutes she still hadn’t come back

So I went outside and there she was

With Colin Cooper



By the mopeds they were snogging

They didn’t notice that I was there

Or that it was raining

Yeah



I went back inside and got my coat

And said goodbye to my mates

And then I started walking to the bus stop



The rain was falling and I was crying

I didn’t hear her footsteps behind me

It was Sharon looking guilty

As well she might



She said, “Let me explain, John.”

I said, “There’s nothing to explain, Sharon.”

She said, “I think there is, John.”

I said, “No there isn’t, Sharon

And anyway my bus is here

So you can go back to Colin now.”



“Listen,” she pleaded, “I don’t fancy him.

I was just giving him a birthday kiss.”

And I said, “Oh yeah

For ten minutes

In the rain

I don’t believe you.

And anyway it’s not even his birthday.”

Neh



“Oh, how could you, Sharon

Just cos he gets more than me on the dole?”

And she said, “Don’t be daft.”

But it was too late

My bus had come

So I got on it

 

Goodbye Sharon

You kissed Colin so I can’t go out with you any more

Oh no

And you lied to me

And I can’t go out with a girl who tells lies

Oh no

Goodbye Sharon

Go on back to Colin

See if I care

I don’t care one little bit

I don’t give a monkey’s

Anyway, me Gran didn’t like you

She said you were dead common

Yeah ok



So here I am

All alone

In my bedroom

With my chips

Feeling sad
