Art Brut Am I Normal? lyrics

I can't take a broken heart
So this'll be another false start

I knew where you lived
So when I used to walked home from school
I used to go especially slow past your house

In case your bus would stop
And you would get off and we could start
Chatting or something
But the one time that did happen
I got scared and hid behind a tree

Deep breath, stay calm
Try and hide those sweaty palms
I can't get no satisfaction
I've got an itch I can't stop scratching

Another time I'd overheard you saying
You were going into town
And at the time I lived right in between two towns
But I wasn't quite sure which one you meant

So I bought a bus pass
I went to both of them
And frantically looked for you everywhere
And when I finally saw you at WH Smith's
I got scared

Deep breath, stay calm
Try and hide those sweaty palms
I can't get no satisfaction

I've got an itch I can't stop scratching

I can't take another false start
So this'll be a broken heart
I can't take a broken heart
So this'll be just another false start

And then the last time this happened
We were drinking down some woods
And then the drink gave me courage
It was cider, it was cheap at the time

And um, I saw you standing over there with your friends
And I knew this time had to be the time
So I boldly start walking towards you

Deep breath, stay calm
Try and hide those sweaty palms
I can't get no satisfaction
I've got an itch that I can't stop scratching

I can't take another false start
So this'll be a broken heart
I can't take a broken heart
So this'll just be another false start

I've lost the ability to speak
Uh, da, da, da, da, da
