The End of the World (2001 Remastered Version) Lyrics

Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing
Because of your obligation
To stay home and fight
Sitting down to a composition
Test the limits of your inhibition
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
It's over tonightIf someone tried, you'd realise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the worldPiles of toast and broken promises
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
It's over and doneIf someone tried, you'd realise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried, you'd sympathise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the worldAt midnight in desperation

Imagine total teenage destructionThe Prophets all predicted extinction
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
And if it all came to pass now
You feel we'd all deserve it somehowBut if someone tried (you'd realise)
You'd realise (and sympathize)
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried (you'd sympathize)
You'd sympathise (and realise)
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end
