Sad Lads Anonymous
This was a dumb idea, even for you
I'm not straight enough to be straight
And I'm too damn scared to be wild
I'm mix paced
People keep telling me how much better it is here than London
You're over excited, convincing yourself that you like it
The sea's not the only thing here that's full of shite
You think cold water will save you
I roam around on a chequered board of vape shops and nail bars
I came to observe and not to play
I could never properly understand the rules of the game anyway
Or what's worse?
Dying before your time or living beyond it?
Sad lads anonymous
Kids who broke promises
I blamed my parents
All of us in the madhouse did
Subliminal you keep it locked away
So criminal I couldn't have my way
Subliminal I don't know what to say
So criminal I keep it in the day
Subliminal you keep it locked away
So criminal I couldn't have my way
Subliminal I don't know what to say
So criminal I keep it in the day
Knowing that nothing is a better option than me
Betrothed and betrayed
Divorced and behaved
Cure it, cure me
Poor little Geordie
Sink a dagger right through me
Paintings are just currency, Pokémon cards for the rich to swap
Hanging in the bathroom of a penthouse suite
In some shiny seven star hotel in Dubai
Installed by slaves
Handmade
Engraved
A taxi driver with road rage
Digging himself an early grave
Don't do yourself in
Cheers to Another blinding show
The band left hours ago
According to the work experience kid that I'm currently telling
All my deepest darkest secrets to in a toilet cubicle
So damn typical
I feel trapped in this stillness
Trapped on this island
Trapped in this dilapidated schizophrenic seaside town
You keep it
UKIP it
You cursed it
I don't want to hear it
Don't tell me your secrets
I'm exhausted
Subliminal you keep it locked away
So criminal I couldn't have my way
Subliminal I don't know what to say
So criminal I keep it in the day
Subliminal you keep it locked away
So criminal I couldn't have my way
Subliminal I don't know what to say
So criminal I keep it in the day
I'm not straight enough to be straight
And I'm too damn scared to be wild
I'm mix paced
People keep telling me how much better it is here than London
You're over excited, convincing yourself that you like it
The sea's not the only thing here that's full of shite
