Often I'm reminded
Of age old social norms,
That you and I both willfully ignore,
Never entertaining ideas of attempting to conform,
For etiquette can be an awful bore
We'll play the game together,
And we will write the rules
Though we may be forever
Dismissed as silly fools,
We'll always pave our own way
Without embarrassment or fear
Even if some people say they're quite dismayed to hear,
That we are Living in Sin,
Living in Sin,
If there is a heaven, then we're not getting in
We could subscribe to their heirs and their graces,
Or we could stick the middle finger up in all their stupid faces
Living in Sin,
Living in Sin
Though it may not seem it,
We are shooting for the win
Not wasting our time waiting
For our lives to begin
Because we're Living in Sin
When we are surrounded by Magnolia and Beige,
I'd like a tin of tartan paint to throw
I very quickly tire of being told to act our age,
Of smiling, nodding, putting on a show
Pretending we should be there,
Or that we give a toss
'Bout a gating situation,
As if we really care
Politely dodging questioning,
That makes us both quite cross
We might as well admit the fact
We're actually quite proud,
That we are Living in Sin,
Living in Sin
Taking life exactly as it says on the tin
What would we need
The big wedding day for?
Think of all the holidays
That money could pay for
Living in Sin,
Living in Sin
Mine's a slim lime tonic
Topped up with a double gin
Duty and tradition
Can go out with the bin
Because we're Living in Sin
*Instrumentals*
Living in Sin,
Living in Sin
We can turn heads
Any place that we walk in
Breezing along
Too content to care
Cause when the chips are down
Neither of us is going anywhere
We're Living in Sin,
Living in Sin
All the world can throw at us
We'll take on the chin
It's never been debated,
You're the Yang to my Yin
Because we're Living in Sin
Living in Sin,
Living in Sin
I'll be your cocoon
When the rain is setting in
Don't need empty gestures
To show that we belong
Our ability to outlast them
Has proved all the doubters wrong
Living in Sin,
Living in Sin
Not afraid to face them
With a smug and stubborn grin
Proudly at the centre
Of one god almighty din
Because we're Living in Sin
