"Nigel" lyrics

He wants to live fast, die young, get drunk
He wants to tell the world
"Oh world, up yours!
I wanna be last left on the shelf"
Gotta do it
Gotta do it for himself

Don't wanna meet girl
Get house, have kids
Don't wanna give himself no 5 year plan
He wants to hold out 'til he has to
He wants to hold out 'til he gets his chance
His chance to dance

Oh Nigel, where've you been?
She says you're wonderful, as you are
Over there, thinking your life away
Pushing the love away
On your own

Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops
Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops

He didn't think that he had a problem
'Til he woke up and all his friends were gone
He kissed a girl in '97
He thought she left but oh she hung on

Oh Nigel, where've you been?
She says you're wonderful, as you are
Your there, thinking your life away
Pushing the love away
On your own

Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops
Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops

They went outside and laid together
She told him all the places that she'd been
And what she'd seen
Could've laid right there forever
Under her breath she swore she'd get him clean

Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops
Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops

Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops
Well, his stomachs sick but his heart is beating
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops
The world just stops!
