Song lyrics
She said oh my, Oh no not I
I was just busy watching everyone go by 
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car 
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar 

I said oh Christ, I told you twice 
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice 
What's this I once heard, you drive a bluebird 
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard 

And it's all right, she'll be sucking fingers all night 
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight 
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight 
Sick in the head, first in the bed 
So easy to be Friday's nightmare 

I said oh no, oh please just go 
You got no eyelids and sweet ella loves me so 
She got my number, though I can't stand her 
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder 
And oh it's clear, you want me dear 
It would be easier if I was never here 
You got the money, and I got the reason, 
I'll stick around with you for just another season 

And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night 
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight 
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight 
Sick in the head, first in the bed 
So easy to be Friday's nightmare 

She's just getting along, 
So don't tell me she's yours 
Oh please tell me I'm wrong again 
It's all in a daze/day, 
So what can you say 
Just; sleep in yer shoes 
With the windowbox blues 
Any time you choose, Oh yeah 

She said oh my, Oh no not I 
I was just busy watching everyone go by 
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car 
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar 

She said oh Christ, I told you twice 
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice 
What's this I once heard, you drive a bluebird 
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard 

And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night 
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight 
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight 
Sick in the head, first in the bed 
So easy to be Friday's wonder

It always confounds me, people's ignorance towards the overwhelming beauty of music and its unlimited possibilities.

There are twelve notes total counting all flats/sharps and 'normal' notes.
The majority of music is played around a few chords.
And yet, even songs with the same chord structure can vary wildly in feel and sound based on its presentation.

And yet, when someone discovers that one song has the same structure as another, they immediately start spouting 'Plagiarist!' as though they've unearthed a conspiracy.

Listen, The Fratellis may very well be Nirvana fans (I wouldn't doubt it). However, given their style that allows such a wide range of songs, I highly doubt that they intentionally stole the chords from Smells Like Teen Spirit.

When you're messing around with a few chords, odds are you'll stumble on something that someone else wrote. That's fine. This doesn't sound like something Kurt would right.
It sounds like good ol' Fratellis.

Same chords, completely different songs.

Music is incredible. Relish it.

Amazing song in all respects. The Fratellis is a band that never disappoints.
