Alex James - Substitute Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You think we look pretty good together
And you think my shoes are made of leather

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simpler things are getting complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

[Chorus]
(Substitute) Lies for fact
(Substitute) So I can see right through your plastic mac
(Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black
(Substitute) My fine looking suit's really made of sack

[Verse 2]
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faces east and the east faces south

[Pre-Chorus]
And now you dare to look me in the eye
The crocodile tears are what you cry
If it's a genuine problem, then you won't try
To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by
[Chorus]
(Substitute) Me for him
(Substitute) White coke for gin
(Substitute) You for my mum
(Substitute) At least I'll get my washing done

[Bridge]
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simpler things are getting complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

[Verse 2]
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faces east and the east faces south

[Pre-Chorus]
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
If it's a genuine problem, then you won't try
To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by

[Chorus]
(Substitute) Lies for fact
(Substitute) I can see right through your plastic mac
(Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black
(Substitute) My fine looking suit is really made of sack
(Substitute) Me for him
(Substitute) White coke for gin
(Substitute) You for my mum
(Substitute) At least I'll get my washing done
