Busted - Nerdy Lyrics






It's always been up to your friends
They'll make your mind up for you
The popularity's gone to your head
But still I don't ignore you
You ran for school election
You even got my vote
And did you know?
My favourite pastime's poetry
And yesterday I wrote

[Chorus:]
Just because I'm nerdy
And my friends are thirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way
If you've got complications
And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way
Oh anyway

This morning you walked past my door
Just like a daydream
But much more
I followed you round to the store
And I was shell-shocked
When I saw
You and your friends were smoking
It always makes me choke
And did you know?
I'd do anything to have you
But I wouldn't take a toke
Hey

[Chorus:]
Just because I'm nerdy
And my friends are thirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way
If you've got complications
And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way
Oh anyway

Anyway, anyway yeah

You said my words were beautiful
They almost made you cry
The markings on the wall were jaded
I wonder why?

Just because you're nerdy
And your friends are thirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
If she's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way

Just because you're nerdy
And your friends are thirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
If she's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way
But anyway
Anyway
Anyway

Busted Nerdy Comments
  1. J.... L....

    I am having a Busted binge right now!

  2. H.... C....

    nice guy anthem

  3. T.... ....

    Love this song

  4. A.... H....

    right back at you mcbusted is bae nothing to it mcfly and busted on there own are bae as well nothing compares to the two greatest bands of all time I'm glad I grew up listening to the most wonderful artists ever!!!!! #throwback days

  5. n.... ....

    I'm pretty sure I can hear Tom Fletcher's voice in the chorus.

    n.... ....

    you probably did he was originally a member of busted

  6. R.... X....

    Even in 2015, Busted are still epic

  7. r.... ....

    this song is my life!

  8. s.... ....

    that's fucking bullshit both matt and charlie smoke what the fuck

    s.... ....

    @***** i meant in the song he's bitching about choking when he smokes but both charlie and matt are chain smokers so i don't understand

  9. T.... M....

    Just because I'm pervy and my friends are thirteen.

    T.... M....

    Well that was rude GET OUT

    T.... M....

    +Thomaas Millership People without a sense of humour... worst kind of people

    T.... M....

    Thirty not thirteen

  10. a.... a....

    this thoguh!

  11. E.... S....

    Still watch it on 2015 (y)

  12. L.... M....

    Obsessed with this song in 2015. I'm weird okay.

  13. C.... W....

    My god I love the bit starting at 0:36 it sounds so beautiful ugh

  14. R.... ....

    Does Matt even have a line to sing? I didn't recognize his voice?

    R.... ....

    Are you serious ???

  15. J.... A....

    Just so everyone is clear on this McFly did NOT copy Busted. Tom co-wrote most of A Present For Everyone with James and they discovered what McFly's sound would be by writing a song called 'That Thing You Do' so please stop saying they copied them or only made it because Busted broke up because there was the whole of 2004 where they were both equally successful bands it is just Charlie decided to make a different band and leave Busted. I believe that McFly would still be as successful as they are now even if Busted had stayed together

    J.... A....

    James wrote a lot of McFlys songs.

    J.... A....

    yep and that is what makes a lot of them awesome, although all of mcflys songs (even if not written by james) are amazing and awesome

    J.... A....

    I got a Rapunzel picture too! 

    J.... A....

    cool, hey

  16. M.... S....

    has to be there best 

  17. P.... C....

    my child hood band 

  18. K.... ....

    I'm sorry but if you're saying Mcfly are better than Busted because of this, then it may surprise than Tom actually wrote this song.

  19. M.... ....

    man this brings me so much memories, i remember being 14 and listening to this in summer and being all confused and shit, i kinda miss those days tbh, there were no worries, life was just good :)

    M.... ....

    When i listened i was like 7 jumping around my room >_>

  20. i.... ....

    amazing at mcbusted

  21. Z.... B....

    just heard this live at mcbusted was a m a z i n g!

  22. X.... G....

    Im still listning to thier  songgs lol :)

    X.... G....

    well music doesn't have a sell buy date mate

    X.... G....

    @joe simister cell* by*

    X.... G....

    that kind of not the point

  23. S.... M....

    and NOW: McBUSTED is on :D the best bands in the world as one! <33 But I miss Charlie... 

    S.... M....

    now busted is back for good. with charlie.

  24. C.... S....

    But still i don't ignore you

  25. C.... S....

    It's Complications, and why would it go 'she's got Qualifications and a reputation' That just sounds weird

  26. N.... ....

    YES!!!!!!!!! some one gets it finally

  27. S.... M....

    There not a boy band they are just a band

  28. S.... M....

    No it is complications if you listen to it

  29. K.... F....

    pretty sure its complications:)

  30. C.... W....

    the popularities got to your head

  31. C.... W....

    its not

  32. J.... ....

    Chorus.
    *Qualifications not Complications.

  33. M.... ....

    They make your mind up, For you

  34. w.... e....

    I love Mcfly and Busted...i would love them to get back together but Tom Fletcher is Mcfly now!

  35. J.... p....

    love this song can sing it and know itof by heart

  36. S.... r....

    *cough* Janoskians *cough* <----- I love them but their "songs" mess up their youtube videos

  37. M.... B....

    They were a BAND.
    They played their own instruments, thus making them a BAND.
    Boybands just sing and dance terribly.

  38. A.... W....

    WTF were they then? Idiot.

  39. M.... ....

    Still listening to this in 2013... shits still good.

  40. c.... w....

    start a lyric chain

    it's always been up to your friends

  41. M.... B....

    Busted were NOT a boy band.

  42. S.... M....

    Well For me Busted is the best band ever...
    And it's a shock that they are a boy band..
    now a days the boy bands are like one Direction _|_

  43. M.... G....

    thumbs up if u like busted more than 1D

  44. J.... A....

    I LOVE BUSTED AND MCFLY! and actually charlie chose to go to a different band therefore breaking up busted

  45. L.... T....

    Hmm Por casualidad, alguien conoce otra banda que cante temas tipo asi de geniales igual? o parecido? (Amo la musica=)

    Sigan me en twitter! @TommoSmile1

  46. y.... ....

    Reading the info box thing...people were fighting over McFly and Busted...really? There's just no need is there .__.

  47. W.... ....

    The end of this song is so good at cheering me up

  48. a.... l....

    I must like your comment...because the current likes was 69 ...

  49. c.... ....

    i used to sit and cry to this song when i was like 12 hahaha why

  50. M.... J....

    that changes the song's meaning dramatically.

  51. G.... S....

    Anyone got a bass tab for this?

  52. a.... ....

    *you're

  53. �.... ....

  62. N.... c....

  63. D.... ....

  64. M.... J....

    I call it 'the lounge' in 2010..? :S

  65. F.... ....

    Was it called 'The Lounge' in the 1800s?

  66. F.... ....

    I just read the description and I'm sorry to say it- McFly and Busted are both good bands but Busted is better. That's why I still listen to them and not McFly.

  67. A.... P....

    Happy 29th Birthday Matt !!!

  68. M.... ....

    Charlie Simpson*_* y u so hawt? ;)

  74. D.... ....

    @Lillyducky793 Meh, own opinions ;3

  75. D.... ....

  76. A.... A....

    my fave ever busted song??

  77. A.... J....

    @Natthenutterv3 :O they were amazing live wtf are you smoking??? i went to their last ever concert they were amazing!

  78. D.... ....

    @MsRavenBrown That's the auto-tune for you... Shame they sucked live. Busted were pretty good (Y) RIP.

  79. J.... H....

    Are the lyrics really 'Thirty'?
    wouldnt it make more sense for it to be 'Flirty' instead? or am I just deaf?

  80. t.... ....

    @JadeMcgivern1995 wow, and I ever did was talk about them a lot and my parents made fun of me for it.

  81. M.... P....

    Busted made my childhood<3Still know every word to their songs, even though now I see they really are so ingenious! Even still my life would be so much better if they got back together ! haha
