Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
He doesn't really exist
[Verse 2]
He spends his weekends with a load of blokes
He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke
He wants to stay out, he don't want to go home
Till his nicotine fingers are stuck down his throat
[Verse 3]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
[Verse 4]
He blamed his fiancée when he caught VD
The doctor said "No drink for seventeen weeks"
He wants to go out, but he has to stay home
Sit in and watch colour TV on his own
[Verse 5]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He drives home pissed at night
And he listens to his stereo
[Verse 6]
The tablets are finished
The cure is complete
He hasn't had a drink now for seventeen weeks
Seventeen pints
Tonight is the night
It goes straight to his head, he ends up in a fight
[Verse 7]
The police chase him home through the dark rainy night
Fluorescent jam sandwich with flashing blue light
His mum's waiting up, she hopes he's alright
But he's wrapped 'round a lamppost on Saturday night
[Verse 8]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
He doesn't really exist
