Young Fathers - Live

I was born in September
and like everything else i can't remember
I replaced it with scenes from a film, that i, will never know
and i blinked it was over
was thinking my love would get slower
that i would sort this shit out now that im sober
its even better now! that your older
i read the scares on the front page
it says were waiting around for a iceage
that out comforts they come with a pricetag
hey cured the cancer but dicovered a new plague!
they say just think of the children
and imagine the world that weve willed them
its probably laden with weirdos to kill them and break their hearts
and everybody knows
this is the end
its now Fashionable
in a party conversation
now im as old as you were when you had me
should i be afraid
should i start a family
up against the wall im up against the city
my love, its such a small
thing
when your young youve got
you've got your whole life before you
everyone will adore you
grow up
youll be an astronaut
or anything you want
what goes up goes up in flames
and now your choices surround you
and now decisions confound you
and your pacing around the place
shows you everything your not
and in the brief of the romance
you commited a soul without its consent
to live a life without its content
cuz young people get old everyday
yea young people young people get old everyday
never went to church thought a song was gonna save me
sought out a hymn on the guitar that you gave me
my love is just a small thing
i just called to tell yo
i just called to say
learn all your mistakes
passed down from generations
and it wasnt all we hoped for
but we shake it off we say
heres your yellow ribbon
i am your consolation
i was born in september
and if i die today
just know i dont regret you
some things i cant explain
its a slow decent
its why i love this place
every goddamn day
i just called to tell you
i just called to say
learn all your mistakes
passed down through generations
