Substitute (Single Version)

You think we look pretty good together

You think my shoes are made of leather

[02:04.91]But I'm a substitute for another guy

[02:08.24]I look pretty tall but my heels are high

[02:12.10]The simple things you see are all complicated

I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

[03:26.15]Substitute your lies for fact

[03:29.54]I can see right through your plastic mac

[03:32.89]I look all white, but my dad was black

[03:36.39]My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack

[02:40.50]I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth

[02:46.80]The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south

[02:53.51]And now you dare to look me in the eye

[02:57.01]Those crocodile tears are what you cry

[03:00.82]It's a genuine problem, you won't try

[03:04.06]To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

[03:12.18]Substitute me for him

[03:15.42]Substitute my coke for gin

[03:19.05]Substitute you for my mum

[03:22.54]At least I'll get my washing done

I look pretty young, but I'm just backdated, yeah
