lyrics

Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
But I have fancy shoes
That add more to a conversation than the lot of them ever will combined
If I could get the words out right you’d be leaving here with me
But awkwardness isn’t appealing to girls like you is it
You want confidence, security and something flashy to impress you
While I work in a supermarket, wear the same pair of trainers and not trusted with a toaster
You were crying on your birthday
I saw you
Because he let you down again
And no that’s not just men that’s him
He’s all gear no idea
All show but no grow
Seeing how low he can go before you explode
And he can laugh about it
Laugh at you being unreasonable
Call you crazy and insecure
When you know for sure that he’s a bell it’ll never end
Carl has plans
Carl has schemes
Carl has fancy friends and wet dreams about girls he can’t have and inappropriately grab
And add magic to a drink that’ll make anyone’s heart sink
He’s a bad man with bad plans but he’s a man in demand so you follow him blindly getting nothing in return but disappointment, fear and a bad carpet burn
That night you didn’t turn up we knew where you were
Carl had accusations
Carl’s on probation
But you stand by him reading the script that he drilled into you and trying to stop yourself from crying
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
But I have fancy shoes
That add more to a conversation than the lot of them ever will combined
If I could get the words out right you’d be leaving here with me
But awkwardness isn’t appealing to girls like you is it
You want confidence, security and…
Carl Carl Carly Carl
Carl Carl Carly Carl
Carl had accusations
Carl had plans
Carl had fancy shoes
But now he don’t
So hah!
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
Carl has fancy friends
