Karaoké Substitute The Who

You think we look pretty good together

You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy

I look pretty tall but my heels are high

The simple things you see are all complicated

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

Substitute, your lies for fact

I see right through your plastic mac

I look all white but my dad was black

My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth

The north side of my town faced east and the east was facing south

And now you dare to look me in the eye

Those crocodile tears are what you cry

It's a genuine problem you won't try to work it out at all just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute, me for him

Substitute, my coke for gin

Substitute, you for my mum

At least I'll get my washing done
