My fine looking suite is really made out of sack
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
North side of my town faced east and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
But 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 my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done
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
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
North side of my town faced east and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
But 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 my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done
Substitute lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white but my dad was black
My fine looking suit's really made out of sack
