Frank Turner - The Outdoor Type lyrics

rate me

I always had a roof above me, I always paid the rent<br />

And I've never set foot inside a tent<br />

I couldn't build a fire to save my life<br />

I lied about being the outdoor type<br />

<br />

Well, I've never slept out underneath the stars<br />

The closest that I came to that was one time in my car<br />

Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night<br />

I lied about being the outdoor type<br />

<br />

Too scared to let you know that you knew what you were looking for<br />

I lied until I fit the bill, God bless the great indoors<br />

I lied about being the outdoor type<br />

Never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike<br />

<br />

No, I can't go away with you on a rock-climbing weekend<br />

What if something's on TV that's never shown again?<br />

It's just as well I'm not invited, as I'm afraid of heights<br />

I lied about being the outdoor type<br />

<br />

Never learned to swim, can't grow a beard, or even fight<br />

I lied about being the outdoor type.
