Face For The Radio
The View Lyrics

You have a face for the radio,
You're not conventionally attractive, but your voice is suitable for the radio.

But I know you'd like to see it in a show,
You secretly wish to be seen on TV or the stage.

Claiming to be the next best everything,
You boast of being the best at everything you do.

Which way will you go?
You're at a crossroads and unsure of which path to take in life.

You're a little smarter than most of us,
You're more intelligent than your peers.

You run so fast sometimes it's hard to see you for dust,
You move quickly and efficiently, leaving others behind.

Finding some time for you, it tortures me,
It's difficult for me to find time to spend with you.

Wages on a Friday,
You receive your salary on a Friday.

Spent on a Saturday,
You spend your salary on Saturday, often recklessly.

Lend me a fiver,
You frequently borrow small amounts of money.

Won't do that again,
You promise not to repeat the same mistake.

Oh your trust is not too strong.
You have difficulty trusting others.

Your arrogance in a bag,
You carry your arrogance with you wherever you go.

Won't spare you a fag,
Others won't give you a cigarette because of your unpleasant nature.

Superstar wannabe,
You aspire to be a famous superstar.

Says it comes naturally,
You believe you're destined for greatness and that success will come easily to you.

Cemented in your own feeble way,
You're stubborn and unwilling to change your ways despite your lack of progress.

He watches trainspotting, fifteen times a week,
You have an unusual obsession with a particular film, watching it repeatedly.

Thinking it's making him oh so unique,
You believe that your love for the film sets you apart from others and makes you special.

PC on summer nights and football in the rain,
You enjoy using your computer on summer nights and playing football in the rain.

Doesn't matter how far he is,
You're willing to travel great distances for your passions and hobbies.

He always has money for the train,
You prioritize spending money on transportation to pursue your interests.

Nothing against you, love in my heart,
I mean no disrespect, and I care for you deeply.

You're really a nice lad, I've known it from the start,
Despite your flaws, you have a good heart, and I've always believed in you.

Your conscience in eager, to know where you lie,
Your conscience is restless, and you're seeking clarity and direction in life.

Pushing your limits, give it up and remember you can cry.
Stop trying to do everything, take a break, and don't be ashamed to express your emotions.

Lend me a tenner,
You often need to borrow larger amounts of money.

Won't do that again,
You recognize the need to budget and avoid repeating the same financial mistakes.

In your own feeble way.
You continue to pursue your dreams and interests, but the methods and results are lackluster.
