Wet trousers in the washing machine
But I'd rather be damp than seen in jeans
I'm grown up now but refuse to learn
That those were just adolescent concerns
I'm possibly missing something
Someone should have told me
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape
Headphones on I made my escape
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack
I'm leaving home and I'm never gonna come back
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape
Headphones on I made my escape
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack
I'm leaving home and I'm never gonna come back
I'm learning lyrics from the CD inlay
To impress people with the stupid things I say
I'm grown up now but refuse to learn
That those were just adolescent concerns
I'm possibly missing something
Someone should have told me
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape
Headphones on I made my escape
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack
I'm leaving home and I'm never gonna come back
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape
Headphones on I made my escape
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack
I'm leaving home and I'm never gonna come back
I used to have a bedroom to hide in
But now I'm outside deciding
Older but wiser
This song's the decider
Is it the sound of a man wrestling with emotion
Or the sound of him losing and causing commotion?
I'm nothing to my peers but envy and hatred
How many girls have they seen naked?
I'm grown up now but refuse to learn
That those were just adolescent concerns
I'm possibly missing something
Someone should have told me
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape
Headphones on I made my escape
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack
I'm leaving home and I'm never gonna come back
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape
Headphones on I made my escape
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack
I'm leaving home and I'm never gonna come back
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape
Headphones on I made my escape
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack
I'm leaving home and I'm never gonna come back
Nag Nag Nag Nag was written by Eddie Argos.
In the sleeve notes to the compilation album Top of the Pops, Eddie Argos reflects on the personal nature of this track.
If I had to choose just one of our songs to sum me up as a person this would be it. I feel exactly the same today as I did when I was 17. I have learnt nothing and probably never...
