Nick's big number. Originally co-written by Nick and Carl, but later rewritten by Nick to be much more interesting, and also more rockin'.
lyrics
All of these preppy chicks would never want me
Got bigger fish to fry in this great sea
It's all the better, 'cause I don't know what to do with them
And in the end, I don't have much to offer
And what I do will just get met with laughter
Can't get together, no, let's just be friends
So, the party's over before it's begun
'Cause all I see's the dark side of the sun
I try to be happy, but it just isn't fun
No, all I see's the dark side of the sun
And so, I scan the room for signs of promise
I'll never find someone to share my life with
Like all the others, all these people will just weigh me down
I never wanna be my lover's pupil
Because I'm just looking for something simple
But also something that I know is honestly profound
So, the party's over before it's begun
'Cause all I see's the dark side of the sun
I try to be happy, but it just isn't fun
No, all I see's the dark side of the sun
