[Verse 1] Lovely day, innit? Sky's doing that thing A storm in a teacup And you're selling the king I said, "You all right?" You said, "Yeah, I'm great" With the kind of face That could curdle my plate You missed the bus "Excellent, brilliant, fab" Queue moves like a sermon And the tea tastes sad [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you say it soft But I hear the blade Wrapped in a grin And perfectly weighed [Chorus] Tea and smirk That's the trick Say it polite And make it stick Tea and smirk One more flick Bless your heart That's the kick Tea and smirk Keep it neat Stab with a smile Then take your seat Tea and smirk So chic "Not too bad" Means "Absolutely bleak" [Verse 2] You said the plan was fine Then rolled your eyes Called it "very bold" With a half-dead smile The lift broke down "Well, that's ideal" Twenty minutes trapped With that awkward zeal You packed your shade In a civil tone Made a whole disaster Sound like the weather report at home [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you keep it light Like a razor line Wrapped in a joke And a cup of time [Chorus] Tea and smirk That's the trick Say it polite And make it stick Tea and smirk One more flick Bless your heart That's the kick Tea and smirk Keep it neat Stab with a smile Then take your seat Tea and smirk So chic "Not too bad" Means "Absolutely bleak" [Bridge] Go on, say "fine" With that little look A raised-up brow And a perfectly booked I'll take your "wow" Your "oh, how nice" The whole damn roast In a sugar cube twice [Final Chorus] Tea and smirk That's the trick Say it polite And make it stick Tea and smirk One more flick Bless your heart That's the kick Tea and smirk Keep it neat Stab with a smile Then take your seat Tea and smirk So chic "Not too bad" Means "Absolutely bleak" Tea and smirk That's the trick Lovely, isn't it? Yeah, that did it
