The Streets lyrics - Fit But You Know It

album: A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004)
genre:

Excuse me, girl. I know it's a bit embarrassing, but I just noticed tan lines... on your shirt. 

See, I reckon you're about an eight or a nine 
Maybe even nine-and-a-half in four beers time 
That blue top shop top you've got on is nice 
Bit too much fake tan, though, but yeah, you score high 
But there's just one little thing that's really really 
Really really annoying me about you, you see 
Yeah, yeah, like I said, you are really fit 
But my gosh, don't you just know it 

I'm not trying to pull you 
Even though I would like to 
I think you are really fit 
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it 

So when I looked at you standing there with your hoard 
I was waiting in the queue looking at the board 
Wondering whether to have a burger or chips 
Or, what the shrapnel in my back pocket could afford 
When I noticed out the corner of my eye 
You looking toward my direction, your eyes locked on my course 
I couldn't concentrate on what I wanted to order 
Which lost me my place in the queue I waited for, yeah 

I'm not trying to pull you 
Even though I would like to 
I think you are really fit 
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it 

Woah 
(Leave it out) 
Are you smoking crack or something? 
(Leave it out) 
Mike just leave it, just leave it 
We cannot have that behaviour in this establishment 
(Leave it out) 
It's not worth it Mike 
Just leave it 
Don't touch me 
It's not worth it 
Don't touch me 
(Leave it out) 
Don't... look I'm alright 
Don't touch me 

For awhile there I was thinking, "Yeah, but what if?" 
Picturing myself pulling with bare white hot wit 
Snaring you as you were standing there opposite 
Whether or not you knew it, I swear you didn't tick 
And when that bloke in the white behind us lot queueing 
Was clocking onto you, to you, yeah, I had to admit 
That yeah, yeah you are fit and yeah, I do want it 
But I stopped sharkin' a minute to get chips and drinks 

I'm not trying to pull you 
Even though I would like to 
I think you are really fit 
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it 

Now, I bashed my head hard earlier due to the brew 
But I am digressing slightly, so I'll continue 
I didn't wanna bowl over all geezer and rude 
Not rude like good, but just rude like uncouth 
You girls think you can just flirt and it comes to you 
Well let me tell you see yes, yes you are really rude 
And rude as in good, I knew this as she stood enqueued 
But I just did not wanna give the satisfaction to you 

I'm not trying to pull you 
Even though I would like to 
I think you are really fit 
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it 

Oi, just as you started to make your big advance 
With the milkshake and that little doughnut in hand 
I was like nah, I can't even, no you look grand 
But you looked sharp there smiling hard, suggesting and 
Leaning away with your hearty, hearty looking tan 
But I admit the next bit was spanners to my plan 
You walked towards my path but you just brushed right past 
And into the arms of that fucking white-shirted man 

I'm not trying to pull you 
Even though I would like to 
I think you are really fit 
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it 

Ah, oi, why do I give a fuck I've got a girlfriend anyway 
(Woah! We've all had a drink mate!) 
Oi, we're all a bit drunk, we've had a few fair play 
I've got this stella I bombed from that last cafe 
This night's not even begun, yes, yes oh yay 
I did fancy you a bit though, yeah I must say 
I would rather I hadn't mugged myself on display 
But this is just another case of female stopping play 
In an otherswise total result of a holiday 

I'm not trying to pull you 
Even though I would like to 
I think you are really fit 
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it 

Hahaheheheh! 

You're fit but you know it 
You're fit but you know it 
You're fit but you know it 
I think i'm going to fall over 
I think i'm going to fall o... 

Fuckin' 'ell!
