Album: Original Pirate Material
turn left up the street
nothing but grey concrete and dead beats
grab something to eat maccy d's or kfc
only one choice in the city
done voicing my pity
now let's get to the nitty gritty
tune reminds me of my first e
quite unique still 16 and feeling horny
point to the sky feel free
see here people are all equals
smiles in front and behind me
swimming the deep blue see
corn fields sway lazily
all smiles all easy
where you from what you on and whats your story
mesmorising tones rising pianos
this is my zone so stop cloning
pick paper scissors or stone
coz me and you are da same
known you all me life i dont know your name
the names european bob sorted
anyway have a dance now see ya later
please to meet ya
likewise a pleasure
(Chorus)
we were just standing in my hara home
we went on and on 'we all smile we all sing'
weak become heroes and the stars aligned 'we all sing we all sing'
but the night slowly fades and goes slow motion
all the comotion becomes floating emotions
same piano loops over
arms wave eyes roll back and jaws fall open
see in soft focus
chatting to this bloke in the toilets
dizzy new heights blinded by the lights
these people are for life
its all back to his place at the end of the night
yo, they could settle wars with this
if only they will
imagine the world's leaders on pills
and imagine the morning after
wars causing disaster
don't talk to me i don't know ya
but this aint tomorrow for now i still love ya
hours fly over
sail round diamonds and pearls
never seen so many fit girls
discover new worlds
look at my watch can't focus
last two hours i lost
every move fills me with lust
all of life's problems i just shake off
hell, mad little events happen
things map out and a few little blue maidens are like
the toilets
big beefy bouncers out to reveal us
geezers on e's and first timers
kids on wizz darlings on charlie
all come together for this party
ball races many faces from places you never heard of
where you from whats your name and what you on
sing to the words flex to the fat ones
the trible drums
suns rising
we all smile we all sing
(chorus)
then the girl in the cafe' taps me on the shoulder
i realise 5yrs went by and i'm older
memories smoulder winters colder
but that same piano loops over and over and over
the road shines and the rain washes away
same chinese takeaway
selling shit in a tray
it's dark all round
i walk down
same sights same sounds
new beats though
solid concrete under my feat
no surprises no treats
the world stands still as my mind sloshes round
the washing up bowl in my crown
my life's been up and down since i walked from that crowd
(chorus)
outta respect for johnny walker
paul oakenfold
nicky holloway
danny rampling
and all the people who gave us these times
and to the government
i stick my middle finger up
with regards to the criminal justice bill
for all the heroes i met along the way
(over) 'weak become heroes and the stars aligned'
we all sing we all sing
weak become heroes and the stars aligned
we all sing we all sing
(chorus)
