The Birthday Party Songtext
von The 1975

Hello
There′s a place I've been going
There′s a place I've been going
Now we're clean, it would seem
Let′s go somewhere I′ll be seen
As sad as it seems

I've seen Greg and he was like
"I′ve seen my friends at the birthday party
They were kinda fucked up before it even started
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show
They didn't know about all the weird stuff
So they just left it" (So they just left it)
I was wasted (l was wasted)
And cold, minding my business

And I′ve seen the girls and they were all like
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"
Listen, I got myself a missus, says there can't be any kissing
"No, don′t be a fridge, you better wise up, kid
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"


Single and well
I thought that I was stuck in hell
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel
′Bout her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well
Pulled away when I went in for the kiss
No, it wasn′t a diss

You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss
After four years don't you think I′m over all this?
"That's rich from a man who can′t shit
In a hotel room, he's gotta share for a bit"
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby
To get things that they don′t have

Does it go through ya, when I'm talking to ya?
You know that I could sue ya if we're married
And you fuck up again
Impress myself with stealth and bad health
And my wealth and regressive causes
Then drink your kombucha, and buy an Ed Ruscha
Surely it′s a print ′cause I'm not made of it
Look, the fucking state of it
I came pretty late to it
We can still be mates ′cause it's only a picture


All your friends in one place
Oh, we′re a scene, whatever that means
I depend on my friends to stay clean
As sad as it seems
As sad as it seems (Alright)

As sad as it seems
