Jean's Not Happening Lyrics
The Pale Fountains
Lyrics
Head
Here I am, standing here for at least one hour
And do you know, eight more minutes of this and I think I'm gonna take that shower
Well, come on, what am I supposed to do ? Well, I think I'll wait
What's this feeling I think I hate ?
Jean's not happening no more
She's like the pouring rain
Jean's not happening no more
She's like the pouring rain.
What was that you said to me ? Well, not that it matters
And do you know sometimes, well, sometimes I think that we're like a big game of snakes and ladders
And you said jokingly my new name was repetition
Well, come on, what's that feeling ? Comp-comp-competition ?
Jean's not happening no more
She's like the pouring rain
Jean's not happening no more
'Cause she's like the pouring rain.
Jean's not happening no more
She's like the pouring rain
Jean's not happening no more
She's like the pouring rain.
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah.
Jean's not happening no more
'Cause she's like the pouring rain.
