Dexys Midnight Runners - the name consistently spelled without an apostrophe - were a British post-punk and Northern Soul band who achieved their major success in the early to mid 1980s. The word Dexys in this case, comes from a colloquialism of dextroamphetamine, a type of amphetamine diet pill that was a popular 'upper' drug with England's Northern Soul scene in the 1960s.
Founded in 1978 by former singer of the Killjoys, Kevin Rowland, and guitarist Kevin "Al" Archer

DG At first I didn't know how I would be EM Without somebody lovin me A Would I be lost inside? DG But then I knew no valid love could not fix me Em No one could heal that part of me A I'm better off alone
Chorus DG Now I can't fuckin wait to go outside and live my life Em Unless I'm free A And now im gonna be the man I'm meant to be
(Same chords throughout song - DGEMA)
They said if you don't marry your be lonely All good men raise a family (oh yeah) Well that's not what I see In truth some of them they don't seem so happy They tolerate misery and that is not for me Chorus Come on come oon come on Sometimes I think I should get some monogamy And try to fit into society just be like everybody (One Problem) I I don't wanna live like them No I don't wanna be like them I'm the one who must be free Chorus Ad libs at end Why should I buy a book when I can join the library It don't make no sese to me
