lyrics

Oh, here he comes. (heels on tile)

He bought the round to watch us clap
Then he explained my job right back
His watch cost more than his ideas
He's been eighteen for twenty years
(bless him)

Go on then, tell us how you'd run it
(run it)
You've never once actually done it

Big man, tiny plan
Talks a marathon, never ran
Big man, tiny plan
Loudest voice in the emptiest van
(big man! big man!)

He calls his exes mental, mad
All five? That's quite a run of bad.
He grips his pint like a trophy won
For a race he never run
(never run)

And the sad bit is — (the sad bit)
He could've just been nice.
Cheaper than the watch.

Big man, tiny plan
Talks a marathon, never ran
Big man, tiny plan
Loudest voice in the emptiest van
(big man! big man!)

(big man... mind the step, love)
