(Tennant/Lowe) ----------------------- Floods of tears and doors slamming Stamping feet across the landing Because of your obligation To stay home and fight Sitting down to a composition Test the limits of your inhibition If the phone hasn't rung by midnight It's over tonight If someone tried, you'd realise It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world Piles of toast and broken promises Among the books and pens and reading glasses It seems there's no escape from the humdrum It's over and done If someone tried, you'd realise It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world If someone cried, you'd sympathise It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world At midnight in desperation Imagine total teenage destruction The Prophets all predicted extinction The Virgin spoke in apparitions And if it all came to pass now You feel we'd all deserve it somehow But if someone tried (you'd realise) You'd realise (and sympathise) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world If someone cried (you'd sympathise) You'd sympathise (and realise) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world It's not the end
