Lyrics

0:12I remember the sickness was forever
0:18I remember snuff videos
0:24Cold Septembers
0:26The distances we covered
0:29The fist fights on the beach
0:32The Bizzies round us up
0:35Do it all again next week
0:38Embryonic love
0:41The first time that it scarred
0:44Embarrass yourself for someone
0:47Crying like a child
0:50And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
0:53Still bugs me now
0:56That's the thing it lingers
0:59And claws you when you're down
1:13I was far too scared to hit him
1:16But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
1:20That's the thing with anger
1:22It begs to stick around
1:25So it can fleece you of your beauty
1:28And leave you spent with nowt to offer
1:31It makes you hurt the ones who love you
1:34You hurt them like they're nothing
1:41Oh oh oh oh oh oh
1:46You hurt them like they're nothing
1:53Oh oh oh oh oh oh
1:58You hurt them like they're nothing
2:04Oh oh oh oh oh oh
2:13See I spent my teens enraged
2:16Spiralling in silence
2:19And I armed myself with a grin
2:21'Cause I was always the f**kin' joker
2:25Buried in their humour
2:27Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
2:31Locker room talkin' lads' lads
2:34Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
2:37A mirrored picture of my old man
2:39Oh God the kid's a dab hand
2:42Canny chanter but he looks sad
2:46God the kid looks so sad
2:57God the kid looks so sad
3:10She said the debt the debt the debt
3:13So I thought about shifting gear
3:16And how she wept and wept and wept
3:19Luck came and died round here
3:22I see my mother
3:24The DWP see a number
3:27She cries on the floor encumbered
3:30I'm seventeen going under
3:33I'm seventeen going under
3:40Oh oh oh oh oh oh
3:45I'm seventeen going under
3:49Oh oh oh oh oh oh
3:57I'm seventeen going under
4:00Oh oh oh oh oh oh
4:08I'm seventeen going under
4:12Oh oh oh oh oh oh
4:21Oh oh oh
I remember the sickness was forever
I remember snuff videos
Cold Septembers
The distances we covered
The fist fights on the beach
The Bizzies round us up
Do it all again next week
Embryonic love
The first time that it scarred
Embarrass yourself for someone
Crying like a child
And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still bugs me now
That's the thing it lingers
And claws you when you're down
I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
That's the thing with anger
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
It makes you hurt the ones who love you
You hurt them like they're nothing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You hurt them like they're nothing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You hurt them like they're nothing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
See I spent my teens enraged
Spiralling in silence
And I armed myself with a grin
'Cause I was always the f**kin' joker
Buried in their humour
Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
Locker room talkin' lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God the kid's a dab hand
Canny chanter but he looks sad
God the kid looks so sad
God the kid looks so sad
She said the debt the debt the debt
So I thought about shifting gear
And how she wept and wept and wept
Luck came and died round here
I see my mother
The DWP see a number
She cries on the floor encumbered
I'm seventeen going under
I'm seventeen going under
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm seventeen going under
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm seventeen going under
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm seventeen going under
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
