so i'm walking along, on my way somewhere

in a rush 'cos I've somewhere to go

when I can see in the distance quite far away

it's someone that I think that I know

well i don't know his name but he always says hi

i guess he thinks that i'm one of his friends

i only spoke to him once, and it was ages ago

and it was just so i could borrow his pen

i do not want to say hi

look i don't mean to be rude

it's not that i don't like you

it's just that i'm not in the mood

well he's coming my way and i'm going his way

we're gonna have to pass each other by

but i'll do anything if it only means

i don't have to look him in the eye

well i pretend i'm adjusting the strap on my bag

just to make it slightly more tight

i put my hands in my pockets and rummage around

and turn my head a bit to the right

i do not want to say hi

look i don't mean to be rude

it's not that i don't like you

it's just that i'm not in the mood

(solo)

well now we're only a few short feet away

and there's just a few seconds to go

but there's just been definite eye-contact

and it's far too late as both of us know

well i can see him, he can see me and we can see eachother

one of us'll have to go first

and so as we pass, we briefly glance at eachother and make this noise:

"'right?"

i do not want to say hi

look idon't mean to be rude

it's not that i don't like you

it's just that i'm not in the mood
