lyrics

It doesn't matter what I do
I'm never good enough for you
It doesn't matter what I say
I'm the last born first forgotten at the end of the day

The things I do, mum it's all for you
Open your heart and let me through

Look mum I'm on tv
Tell me now are you proud of me
You slept through my biggest dreams
It's not that easy
Look mum I'm on tv
Tell me now will you talk of me
I can be the topic when you have tea
Why is our love soo bittersweet

Oh, oh
Oh yea
Soo bittersweet
Soo bittersweet

Every little thing you do
Cuts deep in my skin, you're leaving me with tattoos
Every little thing you say
I'm the shrinking violet you never put on display

And it's soo cliché
But when life gives you lemons you make lemonade
And don't you worry I'll get my pay

Look mum I'm on tv
Tell me now are you proud of me
You slept through my biggest dreams
It's not that easy
Look mum I'm on tv
Tell me now will you talk of me
I can be the topic when you have tea
Why is our love soo bittersweet

Oh, oh
Oh yea
Oh, oh
Oh yea
Soo bittersweet

Look son you're on tv
Oh my god it's for bank robbery
Just give the money to me

1, 2, 3, 4
Look mum I'm on tv
Tell me now are you proud of me
You slept through my biggest dreams
It's not that easy
Look mum I'm on tv
Tell me now will you talk of me
I can be the topic when you have tea
Why is our love soo bittersweet

Oh, oh
Oh yea
Oh, oh
Oh yea
Soo bittersweet
Oh, oh
Oh yea
Oh, oh
Oh yea
Soo bittersweet
Soo bittersweet
