Survive It

Che che-che che che-che check
I...
Yeh yeh-ya yay
Yah ya ya ya ya yeah
Ok, tsk

I'm 44 years old and life ain't golden
Like juice got served when you got no cash,
Got no cheque book, got no credit card
Life is pretty hard
I'sure you can see that I'm plus under-rated, plus bare knockbacks
Been shown the door because they're talkin' 'bout cut backs
And you think what next left or the right but
Key in the door but the door won't open
And heartbeat frozen, look to the heavens,
But nobody's coming and the pie's in the oven
So you stop mind wandering and back to the present, it's a
Dinner for one with the dinner lights on
And you're tryna get atmosphere
Like she was here, but she's long gone
Like Rocky Balboa and Adrian
Teardrops while you sip on the 'eavy end

No no no no no no
Ain't got the licence to kill like double 'O
I jus' wanna live life and survive it

No no no no no no
Ain't got the licence to kill like double 'O
I jus' wanna live life and survive it

I gotta move man but it's hard when you're glued in place
I so desperately wanna leave this pace
In a steamy hot bath I just hide my face,
The world looks different underwater
I coulda had a son or a daughter
When I had the chance to a trip to Mallorca
Life is a funny thing with the twists and turns
And in the bad times it just breaks and burns
But as you just get older you just live and learn
And shrug your shoulders and be the bigger man
But, I remember nights in December
Fairy lights and torn out wrapping paper and happy times,
Now it's happy slaps and how big's your gap
And all that crap I'm not gonna allow that
I know there's reason to part but I'll get through
If I just remember that...

No no no no no no
Ain't got the licence to kill like double 'O
I jus' wanna live life and survive it

No no no no no no
Ain't got the licence to kill like double 'O
I jus' wanna live life and survive it

I know
Times are hard
You're against the wall, and
You're head is down, but
I think
You'll get there soon
Just have a little faith mate
It'll turn out great

Yeah, it's all mapped out, like one of them sat navs
You need to get over there, then down to here,
Go down the road and left at the roundabout
Head out the window so much to shout about
Unnaturally buzzing, allow pessimism
Burn in the flames like a phoenix has risen, well I hope so
That's the plan in the end a get a nice house a few true friends
A wife I can cry with laugh and create with kids so beautiful they're truly a blessing,
But I'm just guessing just speculating
Thinking aloud you know all that's what I do
And I don't know much but I know what is right
Don't mock my grit, skin
Trying my best
But I'm only a man doing what I can
I'll go forth, with these words in my hand, in my hand

No no no no no no
Ain't got the licence to kill like double 'O
I jus' wanna live life and survive it

No no no no no no
Ain't got the licence to kill like double 'O
I jus' wanna live life and survive it

No, no, no, no, no, no,
I jus' wanna live life and survive it

No, no, no, no, no, no,
I jus' wanna live life and survive it
