I saw you tie your shoelaces, you looked so very pleased
They came undone immediately, you sank down on your knees
Later at the light bulb change, it took you several hours
I watched you pass the air in joy
I thought the future′s ours

North Korea on holiday, Bay route for a midweek break
We could go just anywhere and make the most of our mistake

And if the sun don't shine, well, the boys don′t mind
Like a right foot in the shoe
My favourite kind of idiot is you, you, you
You're a little bit cute, but you ain't no beaut′
But I don′t date you for the view
My favourite kind of idiot is you

I saw you try to cross the road
in a fight that you still lose
Both cycle lane and bus lane, still leaving you confused
Returning half hour later, you still look pretty lost
Finally reach the other side but forgotten why you'd crossed

New York, London, Milan, Paris, none of them we′ve been
Just a one day trip to the council tip
Fulfills our every dream (dream)

And if the sun don't shine, well, the boys don′t mind
Like a right foot in the shoe
My favourite kind of idiot is you, you, you
You're a little bit cute, but you ain′t no beaut'
But I don't date you for the view
My favourite kind of idiot is you

I can′t believe the things we do when just left on our own
But madness and insanity furnish both our homes
You′re my dream idiot, I hope I'm your dream fool
Never mind the law or security door
If you weren′t meant to break the rules

And if the sun don't shine, well, the boys don′t mind
Like a right foot in the shoe
My favourite kind of idiot is you, you, you
You're a little bit cute, but you ain′t no beaut'
But I don't date you for the view
My favourite kind of idiot is you

My favourite kind of idiot is you
My favourite kind of idiot is you
