80 Degrees

I turned a blind eye on history
You turned our friends into enemies
And tainted every pop song we'd go crazy about

And of all the things that you didn’t throw
Your fancy gifts were the first to go
Now the charity shops 'round here all know me by name
And think I'm insane

I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees
Tried a 100 different remedies
But I couldn’t get the taste out

I never listen anymore
To the singers that you lived for
The songs that I once adored
Had to cut my hair and paint the walls
All the things we said we wanted
I don't want them anymore

I found myself in a pile of books
I dance at parties now
I don't care how it looks to flirt with strangers
Never feel in danger
And let the room spin

'Cause thinking back makes me curl my toes
The way I dressed up
All lace, ribbon and bows
Trying to please you
Oh, when everything is so easy now

I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees
Changed my name, went to therapy
But I couldn’t get the taste out

I never listen anymore
To the singers that you lived for
The songs that I once adored
Had to cut my hair and paint the walls
All the things we said we wanted
I don't want them anymore

All the things we said we wanted
I don't want them anymore

And now I'm all fired up from hanging about
I got this heartbeat, baby, trying to get out
And I got more than one good reason to shout
I'm never ever ever going back

I never listen anymore
To the singers that you lived for
The songs that I once adored
Had to cut my hair and paint the walls
All the things we said we wanted
I don't want them anymore

All the things you think I wanted
I don't want them anymore
