The Courteeners - Acrylic Lyrics

You’re just like plasticine being moulded into a libertine dreamer
I feel so sorry for you
If you were 13 i’d let you off but you’re not and you should know better
I’d gather my thoughts on a notepad with a parker pen and write you a letter but,
Theres not enough paper in the world
Theres not enough paper in the world have you heard all your friends go

All the words they seem to know
All the words in your songs go

You’ve got an ok jacket but you’ve got no spine
Please vacate this city of mine

I only wish you had the songs to back up your talk, it’s all wrong
But we know that’s not the case, rather show your face
In an ancient bar that nobody goes in
Because they serve sub-standard gin
Nobody goes in there
Did you win? Did they ask? Well no one cares

All the words they seem to know
All the words in your songs go

You’ve got an ok jacket but you’ve got no spine
Please vacate this city of mine

You’re just like plasticine being moulded into a libertine dreamer
I feel so sorry for you
If you were 13 i would let you off but you’re not you should no better
I’d gather my thoughts on a notepad with a parker pen and write you a letter but,
Theres not enough paper in the world
Theres not enough paper in the world have you heard your friends they go

You’ve got an ok jacket but you’ve got no spine, please vacate this city of mine
You’ve got an ok jacket but you’ve got no spine, please vacate this city of mine

The Courteeners - Acrylic Review

The Courteeners certainly got off the right bus top. Being regarded as one of the best bands that have come out of Manchester in a while is a title that puts you under a lot of expectations and they’ve somehow met them. Admittedly, ‘Acrylic,’ won’t offer you something you haven’t heard before but its unfeasible to not the enjoy the beat and its blueprint indie structure. And as for the lyric, “you’re just like plasticine being moulded into a libertine dream,” it’s inevitable that that’s the next catchy line that just won’t get out of your head.
