Lyrics:

Sympathy, won't you come around?
I don't need the commotion
Usually, though I'm up and down
You just need roller coasters

Good-goodness me, all you talk about
Is how you'll beat all the others
Sympathy won't come around
So make peace and discover

Why you make it up?
Party on and tear it down (down, down)
Don't you wanna get it on?
Everybody believes you now

I can see what you're all about
You don't need to be clever
If you don't speak your thoughts aloud
You just feel them forever

Good-goodness me, all you talk about
Is how you'll beat one another
Sympathy's gonna come around
So make peace and discover

Why you gotta make it up?
Party on and tear it down, down
Don't you wanna get it on?
Everybody believes you now

You don't need to be clever
You don't need to be clever
You don't need to be clever

You don't need to be clever
You don't need to be clever

Declan McKenna - Elevator Hum (Live) | Vevo Studio Performance

Declan McKenna 2024-02-12 | Declan McKenna - Elevator Hum. An exclusive performance for Vevo.

It was clear from the jump the Declan McKenna likes to color outside the lines. As wildly catchy as his breakout hit “Brazil” was, it was also an equally eccentric protest song (a takedown of FIFA’s corruption in Brazil) paired with reversed guitars and a psychedelic video. In 2016, almost a year after Mr. M won Glastonbury Festival’s emerging talent competition, “Brazil” hit number 1 on Alt Nation. With fame came a bigger microphone, which the Enfield-born lad used for righteous musings on transgender equality (2017’s “Paracetamol”) and England’s relationship to imperialism, war, and weapons trading (2019’s “British Bombs.“) The pandemic caused a delayed release for 2020's sophomore effort ‘Zeros.' So it makes sense this past summer he dubbed a massive string of shows The Big Return Tour. On his new ‘What Happened To The Beach?’ album, McKenna has decided to “drop the intensity” of his message music and “have some fun.” If these performances of “Mulholland’s Dinner and Wine” and “Elevator Hum” are any indication, it’s mission accomplished.

Lyrics:

I write the news,
I know you can’t make sense of my southern views
Yeah London prices may seem stiff
But they roll you a spliff so you can't refuse

I write the news
And I can’t wait to bail on the southern rent
And the crime is high and so am I
and the Labour kids shout to what extent

I write the news
You’ve made way for some common abuse
Free gel pens well at whose expense
All the children need now is their ones and twos

I write the news
You’ve been hanging with some Kensington dude,
He likes you true but he cannot see,
You've been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You’ve been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You’ve been picking his stems and getting rich for free.

I write the news
I know you can't make sense of my southern views
Yes London prices might seem stiff
But they roll you a spliff so you can't refuse

I write the news
I know you can't wait to bail on the southern rent
And the crime is high and so am I
and the Labour kids shout to what extent?

I write the news
You’ve made way for some common abuse
Free gel pens well at whose expense?
All the children need now is their ones and twos well

I write the news
You’ve been hanging with some Kensington dude
He likes you true but he cannot see,
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.

I write the news
You’ve been hanging with some Kensington dude
He likes you true but he cannot see,
You been picking his stems and getting rich for free.

I write the news
Everybody else gets told what to do
They know jack and I know the facts
So you better listen up or I’m calling you rude

I write the news
I don’t waste time talkin to you,
Comes up quick till I feel sick from
Worrying about what the bad guys do

I write the news
All you fools better scream like I do,
If you get scared then you aint free
Got a cracked glass screen that I cant keep clean
Got a cracked glass screen that I cant keep clean
Got a cracked glass screen that I cant keep clean

Lyrics:

A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight
A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight

Would you catch me in the centre of your cosmic sin,
Where the devil’s sippin’ cordial I just can't win
There's a single bed awaiting me I don’t believe
I'm a cheesecake junky in constant grief

Would you catch me in the centre of your cosmic sin,
When I’m picking at my pimples on my plastic skin
There’s your king and all his cronies feeling quite irate
You were welcomed to the party and you shan’t be late

Would you catch me in the centre of your cosmic sin
Where the devil’s sippin’ cordialI just can't win
There's a single bed awaiting me I don’t believe
I'm a cheesecake junky in constant grief

Would you catch me in the centre of a cosmic lie
And I’m fumbling all the fixings on my plastic tie,
There’s a king, and all his cronies feeling quite irate
You were welcomed to the party and you shan’t be late

Oh see, I let you down,
All people who get around,
All by myself, by by my by myself, by by my by my,
Oh see I let you down
All people who get around,
All by myself, by by my by myself, by by my by my,

A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight
A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight

Lyrics:

All this gets me low, cus I feel for you
My honest testimony I leave for you
On, get gone
Gone, I shoulda known

You said for once in your life,
Would you just get it right,
Make it easy for yourself, my love
You said I never hung you to dry,
And I don’t get why as I drip and I skid
Cause I think you did

This old thing don’t write right these days
Used to be so quick
Now I shake, And I shake,
Well the thought just makes me sick

All this gets me low, cause I feel for you
My honest testimony I leave for you
Cause all this gets me low, cause I feel for you
My honest testimony I leave for you,
(It’s so easy babe)

Get gone, I should’ve known

Don’t you try
Take my good love from me
You’d have to grab my spine
And fill it up, fill it up,
Get it back on time

Cause all this gets me low, cause I feel for you
My honest testimony I leave for you
Cause all this gets me low, and I feel for you
My honest testimony I leave for you

Lyrics:

We wobble to the beach
Cause life’s really changing.
Laugh about the blue and gray
What’s it say, what’s it not say?

I’m off to Tenerife
Life’s really changed me
I used to cry at home at night
Now I might in the sunshine

Wait for the tide to appear
Sure does get lonely up here
Brushstrokes of saltwater beer
Just falling over

What happened to the beach?
Looks like it’s changing
We used to get to breath the air
Now it's thanks, pass the gas tanks

We lost the Jubilee
But not Easter Sunday
They’re gunning for me Jesus Christ
Winter strikes in mid Springtime

Wait for the tide to appear
Sure does get lonely up here
Brushstrokes of saltwater beer
Just falling over

We wobble to the beach
Cause life’s really changing.
Laugh about the blue and gray
What’s it say, what’s it not say?

I’m off to Tenerife
Cause life’s really changed me
I used to cry at home all night
Now I might in the sunshine

Lyrics:

Can I find joy in such a sorry thing
Pacing the levels of a trapped in rats den
And it's time to begin

And when it kicks in
Ooo it kicks everything
Keeps the walls caved in,
Until we do it again

Hoooo!

I got the phantom buzz
I suck it in, out, ahh,
I can’t get enough
I’m fucked up
I’m falling

When it kicks in
Ooo it kicks everything
Blood don’t half run thin,
Through a poisoned brain

And when she gives in,
Oh she gives everything
Turns the page I’m in, until we do it again
Again, Again, Again, Again

I ain’t no use talking until we do it again.

Wooo!

Lyrics:

I found love for the little things in life,
I’m not satisfied with what I want
We’ll stop time, if you’re a little bit lonely
There’s no guarantee, but it’s all that I want

We’ll take the golf cart into town, drive it around.
Just think of all the things we can do
Hold up some pubs and hope it pays, give me a raise
Fill up on junk at Supervalue
(oooh)

I got a boring apartment, and all of the drugs
I’m fucking dangerous, I get what I want
I’ve got friends from a concert, falling in love
Got cosmic paper cuts, tearing me up,

I found love for the little things in life,
I’m not satisfied with what I want,
I'm back home for a little bit, lovely
Grand don’t come for free it’s tearing me up,

We’ll take the golf cart into town, drive it around,
Just don’t forget the things we rehearsed.
Write off the motor on your way, hope that it pays
And if it don’t just act-a-my worst, first

I got a boring apartment, all of the drugs
I’m fucking dangerous, I get what I want
Head up to Mulholland’s, for dinner and wine
It’s fucking go time, tell me to stop

I gotta hit up Mulholland’s, for dinner and wine
It's not the first time, and it's not what I want tonight
I've got a boring apartment, all of the drugs
It’s fucking dangerous, to get what I want

Lyrics:

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny

Lyrics:

I can't quite explain
This hole in my brain, that’s come around again
The West Hampstead Reds
Send me to bed and head off out again

Some things have to change
Some things are to blame,
For almost everything
Some boys grow in shame

Don’t play that game

Cause I want you to believe
You’re just like me
I want you to believe
You’re just like me
I want you to be free
To be happy
I want you to believe
You’re just like me

Just another California tongue
Prove me wrong,
But I think they all sound the same

It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Talking that way, now
Listen to the elevator hum
The mechanism, is breaking down again

Don’t you tell my mum
Don’t play that game

Cause I want you to believe
You’re just like me
I want you to believe
You’re just like me
I want you to be free
To be happy
I want you to believe
You’re just like me

I want you to believe
You’re just like me
I want you to believe
You’re just like me
I want you to be free
To be happy
I want you to believe
You’re just like me

Lyrics:

Verse 1

What’s the point Muffin
I don’t believe in nothin, anymore
You tell me I don’t relate to the kids no more
Now I feel like I’m letting them down
What’s the point running
Not like I’m up and coming, anymore
So, what if they hear me on my bathroom floor
I’m sure they’re big enough now

(Pre-chorus)

But of course I’ll re-impore you, on the kind of nation that we have
You’ve either been on your own too long
Or it just feels like that (just feels like that)
So tell me if I’m stuck or moving on up
That’s a conversation to be had
Have I been living on my own too long
Or does it just feel like that

(Chorus)

When I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
I try to fix myself but nothing, Nothing

(Verse 2)

What’s the point Martin
Don’t you be starting, anymore
They told me I was the fat cat kid for a minute
but they’re the ones who are doing us proud
What’s the point running
Not like I’m up and coming, anymore
So what if they hear me singing “I love war”
I’m sure they’re big enough now

(Pre-Chorus 2)

But of course I re-implore you, on the kind of nation that we have
You’ve either been on your own to long
Or it just feels like that (It just feels like that)
So tell me if I’m stuck or moving up
Now that’s a conversation to be had
Have I been talking to myself all long, or do I just sound like that

(Chorus 2)

When I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I feel wrong, I feel rehearsed
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
I try to fix myself but nothing, nothing
Nothing x8
Works

(Instrumental)

(Pre-Chorus 3)

But of course I’ll re-implore you, on the kind of nation that we have
You’ve either been on your own too long,
Or it just feels like that (It just feels like that)
So tell me am I stuck or moving up,
Now that’s a conversation to be had
Have I been talking to myself so long,
Or do it just sound like that

(Chorus 3)

When I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I feel wrong, I feel rehearsed
I try to fix myself but nothing works

(Outro)

I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
I try to fix myself but nothing
Nothing x10

When I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
I try to fix myself but nothing works
I feel wrong, I feel rehearsed
I try to fix myself but nothing works

(Outro)

I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
I try to fix myself but nothing
Nothing x10

Lyrics:

Sympathy won’t you come around
I don’t need the commotion
Usually though I’m up and down
You just need rollercoasters
Goodness me all you talk about
is how you’ll beat all the others
Sympathy won’t come around
So make peace and discover

Why you make it up
Party on and tear it down
Don’t you wanna get it on
Everybody believes you now,

I can see what you’re all about,
You don’t need to be clever
If you don’t speak your thoughts aloud
You just feel them forever
Goodness me all you talk about
is how you’ll beat one another
Sympathy’s gonna come around
So make peace and discover

Why you gotta make it up
Party on and tear it down down
Don’t you wanna get it on
Everybody believes you now

You don’t need to be clever
You don’t need to be clever

Sympathy’s gonna come around

You don’t need to be clever

Lyrics

I heard you sold the Amazon
To show the country that you're from
Is where the world should want to be
For a fine something all people need
I'm faithless now
Though we win every time and I don't know how
'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me
But the people are dying to get on TV
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He's got eyes, but he can't see
Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
Oh, Lord!
What have I become?
I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son
I'm not what you think you see
I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
I've got a mission and my mission is real
Because you've had your chances, yeah you've had enough
I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love
And it gets me down
Oh, Lord, how it gets me down
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He's got eyes, but he can't see
Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
Oh, Lord!
I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He's got eyes, but he can't see
Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He's got eyes, but he can't see
Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me

Declan McKenna - British Bombs (Live) | Vevo Studio Performance

Declan McKenna 2021-01-28 | Declan McKenna - British Bombs. An exclusive live performance for Vevo.

Please note, this video contains strobe effects and rapidly flashing lights.

A few years ago, Declan McKenna was somewhat of a rarity - a first-time artist arriving with numerous skills. Maybe it was the biting observations on poverty and religion of “Brazil” that had people deeming him an upstart. Maybe it was the parade of hooks the Hertfordshire native sprinkled throughout his songs. McKenna’s 2017 ‘What Do You Think About My Car?’ debut was packed with angular guitar parts and equally jagged philosophical thoughts. His follow-up record, ‘Zeros’ was delayed because of the pandemic, but now it’s here. His current mullet and makeup aren’t the only indicators that time has passed. One listen to the anti-war lyrics of “British Bombs” and the ego death going down in “You Better Believe” reveals a formidable songwriter who’s added depth to his always-impressive craftsmanship. First up on the performance list: "Rapture."

Lyrics:

At first you will find
A prophecy of what could have been you know
(YOU KNOW)
You know there’s all sorts of crap on the TV these days
Now you won’t live after
Such disaster you’re a lot full of smashed up cars
Cross hatched in the metal when you’re cracking up
But you’re part of the pack, pup
You’re part of something bigger than the laws of nature
Mrs. Thatcher
Your cruel heart navigates the world we live in
With its anger
Going nowhere, coming atcha

Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I’m already dead
Rapture, oh my lord
I been playing catch-up
I’m already bored
Lalalalala

God tell me I sure am on the list
How can you make yourself so scarce from someone you love
Oh it don’t make sense
Your love is never better than the morning after
(Morning after)
Mother Nature, coming atcha

Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I’m already dead
Rapture, oh my lord
I’ve been playing catch-up
I’m already bored

Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I’m already dead
Rapture, oh my lord
I’ve been playing catch-up
I’m already bored

Cause it’s rapture in my head
You say this is up
I’m already dead
Rapture in my head
You say this is up
I’m already dead

I’m already dead

Lyrics:

At first you will find
A prophecy of what could have been you know
(YOU KNOW)
You know there’s all sorts of crap on the TV these days
Now you won’t live after
Such disaster you’re a lot full of smashed up cars
Cross hatched in the metal when you’re cracking up
But you’re part of the pack, pup
You’re part of something bigger than the laws of nature
Mrs. Thatcher
Your cruel heart navigates the world we live in
With its anger
Going nowhere, coming atcha

Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I’m already dead
Rapture, oh my lord
I been playing catch-up
I’m already bored
Lalalalala

God tell me I sure am on the list
How can you make yourself so scarce from someone you love
Oh it don’t make sense
Your love is never better than the morning after
(Morning after)
Mother Nature, coming atcha

Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I’m already dead
Rapture, oh my lord
I’ve been playing catch-up
I’m already bored

Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I’m already dead
Rapture, oh my lord
I’ve been playing catch-up
I’m already bored

Cause it’s rapture in my head
You say this is up
I’m already dead
Rapture in my head
You say this is up
I’m already dead

I’m already dead

Lyrics:

gold, let it unfold, imagine you’re dressed in gold,
roaring crowds in manchester will manage to be told,
oh and your king
the boy you loved in spring,
the way she looks at him,
the common goal,
and waiting for the kids to go

we’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
they’ve got it in for me,
for what its worth,
the key to, life on earth

jokers, happy go xenophobe locals,
have got it in for me,
for all im worth
the key to, life on earth

holy smokes,
you kids and your jokes,
asking where we got our jeans,
and where the hell we found our coats,
cause dirty streets these days are graced by nikes of black and green,
and headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean,
and they lie,
then men that wrung us dry,
the boys who poked your eye,
the common fool, the walk to school for you and i

we’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
theyve got it in for me,
for what its worth,
the key to, life on earth

the thing is, the out of touch, scrounging rich kids,
are living here for free,
on my home turf
the key to, life on earth,

call in to wake you up in the morning, iron your suit and tie forever till you die

join forces like carousels and their horses forever spinning round,
and never coming down

come out and join us honey we will sort u out
come work in brookfield park and we will shut your mouth
come work in sainsburys babe until you’ve had enough
come on out come on out

Lyrics:

Heaven knows you get so miserable you have to go
Summertime in Cannes and Christmas Day in Borneo
So you tell your mother, your friends, and your family
I’m gonna travel away to the Andes
Like everybody wants to see them

You don’t have to be sad about it
Mother Nature
Don’t let the boys try to doubt it and spoil our fun
Cause your reaction’s all that they want
So just like you said to me once
Have a day off

Everybody gets so tired of hearing what you’ve said
When you think your money’s gonna stop you getting wet
So Noah, you best start building
You better have ten thousand children
Because everybody wants to be one

You don’t have to be running errands for anyone
In pieces they left no room for me, I’m no one
I’m Sagittarius, I’m A star
So wouldn’t you take the day off
Mother Nature

Wake me up when it’s over
Wake me up when it’s over
Wake me up when it’s over
Wake me up when it’s over

Because you feel it pouring and you must run
You must drop your bags and your trust fund
Because the life you lead’s so fucking alien

Lord tell me, where did you get that strange idea from?
In pieces they left no room for me, I’m no one
I’m Sagittarius, I’m A star
So wouldn’t you take the day off, Mother Nature

Lyrics:

You’re gonna get yourself killed
Before you can run
Just ‘cause you got your own theme song
“Fastest gun in the solar system”
Don’t mean you’re alone
Don’t mean you’re a home run
Don’t mean that you’re holy
Don’t mean you’re the only one
To save us all

Oh, you better believe

The time has come where rocket boots and lasers
Lose their flavours
Like gum stuck to your heels
So you know how it feels to wait at heaven’s gate for God
Watching your requiem on screen
Gather round for the final scene
Where you were sold away one summer’s day last year
I’m sorry my dear
The asteroid’s here

You used to speak your mind
So jealous but so kind
But you did fall
After all
You used to speak in tongues
That Jesus and his loved ones would save us all
Would save us all
Would save us all
Would save us all

So you better believe
You better believe
You better believe
You better believe!

We’re gonna get ourselves killed
Oh Yeah!!
You’re going overboard babe you’re going nowhere!
Oh Yeah!
Oh Yeah!
We’re gonna get ourselves killed
What do you think about the rocket I built?
Is it so fast, so high speed, it’s just what you need
We’re gonna get ourselves freed!
What do you think about the blood that I bleed
Cause when I’m dead
You’ll break bread but it’s all in your head
It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head, it’s all in your…

I’m off out to buy a bag of quavers
And Nike trainers
Comfort you can feel
And you know that it’s real because you saw it
At the station
God’s creation
With a half off summer deal

Lyrics:

The backyard balcony view
Was empty as hell without you
And the man that you trust, worth dust
Cause he left without a word
Have you heard an apology?
No, no comment
What were you on?
Don’t tell me you truly believed when he promised

Marvellous beaches
One of us each to carry the spade
Don’t be so nasty
Father McCarthy rolls in his grave

I don’t mean to be shallow
I’m just moving on
It was nice to meet you
for love is but a fleeting friend
We’ll end up both alone oh we know
How easy it is to pretend

Sick of trying to be her
And trying to be him
Exactly what is getting worse each time
And time again
Is that not something you could learn
If only on a whim,
Pretending not to choke
Like the first time you tried a blem

It’s not really the time for kicking and squealing
It’s a silly thought
It’s a silly feeling

Marvellous beaches
One of us each will carry the spade
Everyone leaves eventually, darling
Don’t be afraid

No, really don’t worry
Won’t you scurry now
While your life’s in pieces
And love is but a fleeting friend
Don’t pretend that you care either
As one of many broken hearts to mend
I see you
And love just doesn’t care for you,
We’ll end up both alone oh we know
Your father feels the same way too

Sick of trying to be her
And trying to be him
Exactly what is getting worse each time
And time again
Is that not something you could learn
If only on a whim
Pretending not to choke
Like the first time you tried a blem

It’s a silly thought
It’s like changing your friends
If you can do it once
Would you do it again?

Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?

You’re so spiteful and so mean

You can work this out
But it’ll hurt you child

Regardless of the motive
Blood will spill if you shoot for the lungs
You will kill
You will speak in tongues
You will rest your heart for a day or two
Following the trail of a race that included you, and only you

Well done you come and get your prize
Listen to the man online for his good advice
Cut your hair cause it’s full of lies
Well it only means half as much when you say it’s twice, twice your size

Regardless of what you believe in
Earth will change
And we must grab our pets
And get off out of range

The sun will melt what it can touch
But don’t worry too much
As you turn to stone
And the stone returns to dust

And wouldn’t that be so nice
Listen to the man online for his good advice
Cut your hair cause it’s full of lies
Well it only means half as much when you say it’s twice, twice your size

And wouldn’t that be so nice
Well it only means half as much when you say it’s twice, twice your size

Lyrics:

Daniel do you remember
You were in such a state
The boys that wait
Outside your house
Have got your number
And are not afraid to use it

They’ll probably give it out
To anyone they see
Including me
They’ll probably make up your mind as if you want them to

Oh you!
Those boys tell you what to do all the time
On and later on you said I can be just what I want
And they said you’re lying
Well you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
What a way to live and die

And you wonder why
Boys will cry
Boys will be boys
They should listen
Do as their mothers tell them,
“If you know what’s good for you,
Behave yourself this time, for me”
“If you know what’s good for you,
Don’t lay around complaining all day”

Oh my!
The boys that wait are on the line and they’re not crying
On and later on
You will tell them what went wrong and they’ll say you’re lying
But you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with that

You waste your time, come waste mine

Oh my!
The boys that wait are on the line and they’re not crying
On and later on
You will tell them what went wrong and they’ll say you’re lying
But you were born an astronaut
To do it or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with that

Lyrics:

Daniel you did it
You made me cry
You spent ten days in bed when
I asked you why
And requested, my whereabouts through tweets
Darling, why do you bury yourself in sheets?

Well I told you
There’s unrest in the House of Lords
Written on sandwich boards
Outside the shop where they sell your favourite drink
So what d’you think you’re doing telling people lies?
Hope’s going like Christmas pies, but it’s never gonna stop you turning pink

Daniel you know it
You wanted to
Find a place on your own like you always do
I’d
Bear in mind
Daniel, you’re still a child

Daniel’s gone running
The trail’s gone cold
You’ve been acting quite strangely
Since ten years old
And when you were 11
They said “You ought to pray to high heaven
You don’t get caught”

Well Daniel
Don’t worry
You won’t be missed
You’ll spend ten years in prison
To pay for this
Ah
Is it all worth while
Daniel, you’re still a child

You’ve got a death wish child
Four cans of pesticide to drink
4:30 western time
The boy’s been arrested
Why’d you think?

Daniel, you’re still a child

What is wrong with Daniel, he’s no fun
You just wait till Daniel hurts someone
Daniel you’re a weirdo what the hell
You just wait till Daniel hurts himself

the boys who poked your eye,
the common fool, the walk to school for you and i

we’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
theyve got it in for me,
for what its worth,
the key to, life on earth

the thing is, the out of touch, scrounging rich kids,
are living here for free,
on my home turf
the key to, life on earth,

call in to wake you up in the morning, iron your suit and tie forever till you die

join forces like carousels and their horses forever spinning round,
and never coming down

come out and join us honey we will sort u out
come work in brookfield park and we will shut your mouth
come work in sainsburys babe until you’ve had enough
come on out come on out

Lyrics:

and as the earth returned to calmly dress itself in white
we caught a glimpse of all the people going out tonight
big guys and little guys and bad guys in cuffs
i bet they can’t get enough
tonight i want to be on broadway and in cabaret
tonight i must go out and celebrate st patricks day
tonight i must demand a raise so i can grab lets say
some some part replacements and strawberry laces
no spaces

the beautiful faces
smiling over us
lift your hands up
and lead us back home,
beautiful people
won’t remember you,
honey,
I bet you can’t get enough

tonight I’m good staying inside
but I’ll be dancing for sure,
going to the stores, pulling socks out of the drawers
of the people who you don’t love anymore

the beautiful faces
smiling over us
lift your hands up
and lead us back home,
beautiful people
won’t remember you,
honey,
i bet you can’t get enough

Lyrics:

gold, let it unfold, imagine you’re dressed in gold,
roaring crowds in manchester will manage to be told,
oh and your king
the boy you loved in spring,
the way she looks at him,
the common goal,
and waiting for the kids to go

we’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
they’ve got it in for me,
for what its worth,
the key to, life on earth

jokers, happy go xenophobe locals,
have got it in for me,
for all im worth
the key to, life on earth

holy smokes,
you kids and your jokes,
asking where we got our jeans,
and where the hell we found our coats,
cause dirty streets these days are graced by nikes of black and green,
and headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean,
and they lie,
then men that wrung us dry,
the boys who poked your eye,
the common fool, the walk to school for you and i

we’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
theyve got it in for me,
for what its worth,
the key to, life on earth

the thing is, the out of touch, scrounging rich kids,
are living here for free,
on my home turf
the key to, life on earth,

call in to wake you up in the morning, iron your suit and tie forever till you die

join forces like carousels and their horses forever spinning round,
and never coming down

come out and join us honey we will sort u out
come work in brookfield park and we will shut your mouth
come work in sainsburys babe until you’ve had enough
come on out come on out
