He just threw out all of his old clothes
And all the music that he owns
It's time for his yearly change of style

She speaks with a British accent
The keyboard is her favourite instrument
Oh-oh

[Chorus]
The drinks are cheap and vinyl's cool
What do you think of my new shoes?
You know me and I know you
Yeah we do
Yeah we do

She used to love Reel Big Fish,
Then she decided she loved the Smiths
So she downloaded all their greatest hits

He is learning the tambourine
He tells his band that's what they're missing
Oh oh

[Chorus: x2]

Yeah we do, yeah we do

They both go to all of the same clubs
Where everyone takes all the same drugs
And talks about how they're 'so fucked up'

They try to get up and dance
But they're all wearing spray on pants
It was a sight to be seen
I wonder who they'll be next week

[Chorus: x2]

    General Comment:the title of this song sums it up "Spray on Pants' also known as skinnys, tight jeans. you know the 'cool' jeans that are now becoming increasingly cheap at jayjays and even fat kids are wearing them now, which gives irony to the name. Its obviously about the trends and how ridiculous they look on some people, they can't get up and dance because tehy're all wearing spray on pants' heeelll tight pants that allow zero movement. They put themselves though sometimes, what looks like agony squeezing into tight jeans.

    But it is also about a relationship between two young rebelious teens, they both go to all of the same clubs where everyone takes all the same drugs and talk about how they're so fucked up.

    General Comment:This song doesn't need explaining, it's self-explanatory.
    I think it's funny how true this song is to today's society. I know someone who did exactly this. One minute she loved Hilary Duff and that then the next was Getaway Plan and My Chemical Romance n stuff.
    Love the chorus though "What do you think of my new shoes?" LOL!

    General Comment:clearly the song is referring to all the scene kids go to 'next' and 'bang' nightclubs religiously every week, where "the drinks are cheap and vinyl's cool."

    And they both go to all of the same clubs where everyone takes all the same drugs and talks about how they're so fucked up.
    And they try to get up and dance but they're all wearing spray on pants. It was a sight to be seen now wonder who they'll be next week.

    that is exactly a spot on discription of what everyone is like that go there. its ridiculous.

    General Comment:its about scene kids
    and how they are always changing their style to fit in and to be "cool"
    and how people would do anything to be cool and popular
    even if it means losing their dignity and being who they are not

    General Comment:I love Kisschasy! They make me feel proud to be Australian! I love his accent. I love that he's kept the Aussie-ness in it. I love that they're so loyal. And I love how he says "and talks about how they're so fucked up"... Very cute story and cool film clip too. I really wanna see them live. But I was coming home from Sydney when on the radio they said they were in Newcastle the following weekend and I'd already been to the Killers... And I'd travelled SO FAR to get to Sydney... But next time Kisschasy tour in Oz, I'll have to see them! They're so cute and funny and just so, so, SO ADORABLE!

    General Comment:The lyrics are easily understood. As for the song not being their best... It is absolutely incredible to hear live. Draws up a different vibe from the crowd, i noticed. And definitely not in a bad way. Like nicolezoe mentioned, they're expanding their base.
