lyrics
I’m just a nerd from the suburbs
I think you might be like me actually
When I look into your eyes its like staring into a mirror
Sometimes I like what I see but sometimes I hate myself too
And I don’t wanna be me
I don’t just want you I actually wanna be you
I suppose that’s hard to understand
But remember I’m just a man
Trying to work out what this life is all about
The best he can with the limitations that he’s got
You’ve got your head on your shoulders so hold it up proud
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders so shout it out loud
Sometimes you’d look away shy
I want you to know you’ve got nothing to hide
You couldn’t offend if you tried
You’re winning every time you open your eyes and smile
There’s something right with the world
When there’s a girl in it who’s made with your style
Try as we might we couldn’t get it right
I’m afraid its too late I don’t expect you to wait
You’ve been waiting so long you’re right to move on
You’ve got your whole life to live and I’ve got mine and this is it
You’ve got your head on your shoulders so hold it up proud
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders so shout it out loud
'Cause the whole world needs to notice what you’re about
Now don’t get me wrong this is just a song
I’m not trying to bend the truth or trick or try it on
Its not a foolish invitation or a dirty pick up line
Its just a thing I’ve meant to do for a long time
You’ve got your head on your shoulders so hold it up proud
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders so shout it out loud
Cause the whole world needs to notice what you’re about
Don’t be shy to show it what you’re about
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders
You’re beautiful head on you’re shoulders
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders
So shout it out
I think you might be like me actually
When I look into your eyes its like staring into a mirror
Sometimes I like what I see but sometimes I hate myself too
And I don’t wanna be me
I don’t just want you I actually wanna be you
I suppose that’s hard to understand
But remember I’m just a man
Trying to work out what this life is all about
The best he can with the limitations that he’s got
You’ve got your head on your shoulders so hold it up proud
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders so shout it out loud
Sometimes you’d look away shy
I want you to know you’ve got nothing to hide
You couldn’t offend if you tried
You’re winning every time you open your eyes and smile
There’s something right with the world
When there’s a girl in it who’s made with your style
Try as we might we couldn’t get it right
I’m afraid its too late I don’t expect you to wait
You’ve been waiting so long you’re right to move on
You’ve got your whole life to live and I’ve got mine and this is it
You’ve got your head on your shoulders so hold it up proud
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders so shout it out loud
'Cause the whole world needs to notice what you’re about
Now don’t get me wrong this is just a song
I’m not trying to bend the truth or trick or try it on
Its not a foolish invitation or a dirty pick up line
Its just a thing I’ve meant to do for a long time
You’ve got your head on your shoulders so hold it up proud
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders so shout it out loud
Cause the whole world needs to notice what you’re about
Don’t be shy to show it what you’re about
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders
You’re beautiful head on you’re shoulders
You’ve got your beautiful head on your shoulders
So shout it out

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 11 fans who also own “Nerd From The Suburbs”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.
