Substitute Live At Leeds University 1970

You think we look pretty good together
[look pretty good together]

You think my shoes are made of leather
[shoes are made of leather]


But I'm a substitute for another guy

I look pretty tall, but my heels are high

The simple things you see are all complicated

[I] look bloody young, but I'm just backdated, yeah


Substitute your lies for fact
[Substitute]

I see right through your plastic mac
[Substitute]

I look all white, but my dad was black
[Substitute]

My fine-lookin' suit is really made out of sack
[Substitute]


I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
[plastic spoon in my mouth]

The north side of my town

Faced east and the east was facin' south
[Faced east and the east was facin' south]


Now you dare to look me in the eye

Those crocodile tears are what you cry

It's a genuine problem

You won't try to work it out at all

You just pass it by, pass it by


Substitute me for him
[Substitute]

... my Coke for gin
[Substitute]

...you for my mum
[Substitute]

At least I'll get my washing done
[Substitute]

I substitute your lies for fact
[Substitute]

I see right through your plastic mac
[Substitute]

I look all white, but my dad was black
[Substitute]

My fine-lookin' suit is really made out of sack
[Substitute
