Tickety-boo Lyrics

I would feel proud if I was a believer

But you make me feel like an underachiever

All fluff and wind and

Just about as useless as a spotty school leaver

I might feel good about how I've got through

Especially as I did it with no help from you

All bluff and chance and

I would be lying if that wasn't true

I, I'm quite surprised at how it's all worked out

Even though I thought that it was never in doubt

I can not complain that's something I won't do

It seems it all turned out to be just fine so tickety-boo

I should wake up and see this isn't real

Been going round on this bloody great wheel

All pert and fake and

Not at all the sort of thing that I'd want to feel

And if I do well will you still be there

Sitting nicely laid back in your little comfy chair

All blurred and fuzzy and

For all it's worth as though you didn't have a care

Forgive me but I still need to keep my tongue tied down

I'm one of those that people shouldn't be around

I've made my mark and often much too deeply

And sometimes carry on a little too cheaply

I like to talk slow but I'm thinking way too fast

If you want opinions then you only need to ask

I like to hold my place somewhere near the top

But never seem to take a hint at when it's time to stop

I, I'm quite surprised at how it's all worked out

Even though I thought that it was never in doubt

I can not complain that's something I won't do

It seems it all turned out to be just fine so tickety-boo
