[Verse 1]
Well, we're here
We're at the common again
Smoked six of the ten fags that I only bought an hour ago
Said, "Well I, I like the look of your shoes
I like the way that your face looks when I'm arguing with you"
And so when, when we all grow old
I hope this song will remind you I'm not half as bad as what you've been told

[Chorus]
And when I knock at a hundred and two
And I see your pyjamas
I can't stop smiling at you

[Verse 2]
That's why we're here, we're at the common again
I've been pouring my heart out towards your optimistic grin
I said, 'Well I, I like the cut of your jib
I like the way that your face looks when you're yapping on about him"
But on this shirt I found your smell
I just sat there for ages contemplating what to do with myself

[Chorus]
I called you up at a hundred and two
We just sat there for ages
Talking about that boy what was getting on to you

The 1975

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
