[Verse 1: Liam Fray]
You've spent too much time sat in your bedroom
On your PC, are you sure that you couldn't have found the time?
Swallowed your pride, admitted your jealousy?
Well next week, you're trying again
To pull one of your city's many front men
If you didn't have the internet, would you be into them?
I very much doubt so and they know so

[Chorus]
What took you so long?
Was there a queue at the post office?
What took you so long?
Was there a dirty double-decker Stagecoach you just happened to miss?

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'm bad and sometimes I'm rotten
And sometimes I say things I probably, should have forgotten
Of the people and things
Do you know who I am?
I'm like a Morrissey with some strings

[Chorus]
What took you so long?
Was there a queue at the post office?
What took you so long?
Was there a dirty double-decker Stagecoach you just happened to miss?
[Refrain]
You're always bad and you're always rotten
And then you always say things that you just should have forgotten
Or have you had enough
Of your stereotypical bit of the rough?
Woah, oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh

[Chorus]
What took you so long?
Was there a queue at the post office?
What took you so long?
Was there a dirty double-decker Stagecoach you just happened to miss?

[Outro]
Woah, oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh ooh
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh ooh
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh ooh
