I'm told the case is now closed
So I can come to my senses
But when the question is posed
I'll have this meager defense
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I was hoping but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before
Despite conclusions I drew
There was a chance you'd surprise me
And you'd be better than you
'Cause I'd have left otherwise
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I was hoping but you're and amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before
So I wasn't thinking clearly
So you didn't think at all
I thought was protocol
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I was hoping but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better
But I've been wrong before
I was hoping that ...
I was hoping but you're an amateur
I was hoping that you'd know better

Back, further back
Janine, just nineteen
Joined a pyramid scheme
Didn't think it mean
To inflate her estate, left it too late
Broke her dreams
Broke her friends
Who said
Courtesy is dead
And now a piece of Vambra
Is looking like Turana
She's banking on the fee
She'll get from ITV
Rethink, refrain
Don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur
Amateur
Kyle, frozen smile, got himself a mobile
Got a house, one wrinkle, couldn't get a signal
Pretty fast, put a mast
On the neighboring flats
A little girl called Jill
Will become very ill
But that is years away
So who gives a hey
Rethink, refrain
Don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur
Amateur
Five star review, who bought a new LP
Had to agree with the critic
Really dug my lyric
Tolerate all the people you hate
When they walk all over you
Ah, baby, what you gonna do
Get a Corinthian view
Wear the pink and blue
Rethink, refrain
Don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur
Amateur
Rethink, refrain
Don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur
Amateur
Rethink, refrain
Don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur
Amateur
Rethink, refrain
Don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur

You made me feel like i'm ok, i could be happy
Now i can sit, not run away stupidly laughing
Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down
Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down.
I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
I've got all that i need to save my day, so why'm i running?
You said i should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
I know i'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try.
I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me
We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely
When exactly are we? i get the decades mixed up.
I like the streets when they're empty, i can make the rest up.
Every day is new year's eve, every night is the last night.

For you I ascend
Into the sky
Under the roof
Stands the bed and I
For you, a wonderland
For me, a dump
There's an amateur inside you that I love . . .
For you the stars
Rub their eyes and stare
Under cover
Under repair
All the dots of all the colours
Couldn't keep me safe
Since you I've wondered when
I gave up
There's an amateur inside you that I love . . .
All the dots of all the colours
Couldn't keep me safe
Since you I've wondered when
I gave up
There's an amateur inside you
There's an amateur inside you
