The Triffids
"Better Off This Way"

Nothing tickles my fancy, nothing catches my eye these days
But I'm better off this way
It was nice while it lasted, it was fun for a day
But I'm better off this way

Oh, don't call me up, I'm quite happy by myself
And I'm sure that you're happy too, with somebody else

You're back on the Westside, I'm licking my scratches
You're out on the town I'll bet, I'm locking the screen door latches
It wasn't all it was cracked up to be
But I'm better off this way, you see.

Don't call me up, I'm quite happy here by myself
And I'm sure that you're happy too, with somebody else

Now I'm on the roadside, born under a bad sign
I was driving a deathtrap, hey but I can read headlines
They say it was high time that we called it a day
But I'm better off this way, this way
Yeah, I'm better off this way, hey-hey-hey-hey,
But I'm better off this way.
