Seventeen Going Under |
| 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 |
| See I spent my teens enraged |
| Spiralling in silence |
| And I armed myself with a grin |
| Cause I was always a fuckin' 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 |
| She said the debt, the debt, the debt |
| So I thought about shifting gear |
| And how she wept and wept and wept |
| The luck came down 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 |
