Is it "you've got an OK jacket..." or "you got an OK jackie..."
The jackie one doesn't make sense but it was the first official lyrics i found on the song back in October.

Live performances will vary LYRICS!!
'ACRYLIC'. I think we've got over the 'YOU'RE OK JACKIE' bit.
BUT, when the album is released, this will become the 'INDUSTRY STANDARD' for consistancy, hopefully with a lyric sheet !!
Try "I only wish you had the songs to back-up your talk of so long'.
I think Liam mentioned on one blog (probably American) "Sorry to piss on your chips, but it's not about a guy called 'Jackie'"

my studio version that i have now, used to have demo i think.
Your just like plasticine being molded into a libertine dreamer
I feel so sorry for you
If you were 13 I’d let you off but your not you should know better
Gather my thoughts on a notepad with a parker pen and write you a letter but,
Theres not enough paper in the world
Theres not enough paper in the world have you heard all your friends go
All the words they seem to know
All the word in your songs go
you got an ok jacket but, you got no spine
Please vacate this city of mine
I only wish you had the songs to back up your talk of so long
But we know that’s not the case, rather show your face
In an ancient bar that nobody goes in
Because they serve some standard gin
Nobody goes in there
Did you win? Did they ask? Well no one cares
All the words they seem to know
All the words in your songs go
you got an ok jacket but, You got no spine
Please vacate this city of mine
Your just like plasticine being molded into a libertine dreamer
I feel so sorry for you
If you were 13 i would let you off but your not you should no better
Gather my thoughts on a notepad with this parker pen and id write you a letter but,
Theres not enough paper in the world
Theres not enough paper in the world have you heard your friends they go
you got an ok jacket you got no spine, please vacate this city of mine
Ok jacket you got no spine, please vacate this city of mine

it's funny how many people debate about it being 'dreamer'
when it's clearly not...he's just slurring the word 'dream' a little

Hey guys, Just looking for confirmation as I wanna get a tatoo of this lyric..
"You've got an ok jacket, but you've got no spine
please vacate this city of mine"
You've or You got, i always think you've but :/
Also any ideas on placement/fonts / size/ and the layout of it would be great (first tattoo)
I was thinking along my rib cage area.
Many thanks guys
