Matthew Songtext
von The Stiffs

Matthew, ooh, ooh, ooh, you weren′t such a pretty baby
Matthew, ooh, ooh, ooh, whatever happened to you?

They threw you off the National Pop Panel
Because they did not like your review
Didn't like your review
Matthew ain′t a hero


You weren't all that they hoped you would be
Not just another rebel against society
How does it feel?
Just another teenage tearaway

And you know they had such high hopes for you
But then again they're so much older than you
They′re older than you
Matthew

You live in your suburban home, away from reality
All the kids from the town come round
They take the piss, try to make it clear
Matthew they don′t want you round here
