Lyrics: Triffids (The). In the Pines. Better Off This Way.

Nothing tickles my fancy

Nothing catches my eye these days

But I?m better off this way

It was nice while it lasted

It was fun for a day

But I?m better off this way

Well don?t call me up

I?m quite happy by myself

and I?m sure that you?re happy too with somebody else

You?re back on the west side

I?m licking my scratches

You are out on the town I bet

I?m knocking the screen door latch

It wasn?t all it was cracked up to be

But I?m better off this way, you see



Well don?t call me up

Oh, I?m quite happy here by myself

And I?m sure that you?re happy too with somebody else

Now I?m on the roadside born under a bad sign

I was driving a death-track

Even I can be xxxxxx

They say it is high time that we call it a day

But I?m better off this way

Yeah, I?m better off this way

But I?m better off this way
