And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
If 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)
 Substitute my coke for gin
(Substitute)
 Substitute you for my mum

repeat verse
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east and the east was facing south

repeat bridge
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
If it's a genuine problem you won't try
To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by

repeat chorus

Substitute me for him 
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done
  (Sub---sti--tute)
