[Verse 1]
At quarter to nine
My plus-one decides
To make her arrival
I'll say what I like
At the end of the night
For social survival

[Verse 2]
I'll cut you to size
Then apologise
And make an impassioned plea
There were no dockin' parks
I had to walk in the dark
I wasn't myself, you see

[Chorus]
Here I am again, you know me
Here I am again, in for free
Missed the backin' band, you know me
Here I am again, in for free

[Verse 3]
I know I sound trite
But I get off on things like
"It's their sophomore album"
I don't know what I mean
But I'm a part of the scene
I know a guy from The Melvins
[Verse 4]
I came to do a review
I had to wait in the queue
I just can't believe it
Don't you know who I am?
I work the street paper scam
I can't believe you don't read me

[Chorus]
Here I am again, you know me
Here I am again, in for free
Missed the backin' band, you know me
Here I am again, in for free

[Outro]
Here I am again
Here I am again
