The Limits We Set |
| The only limits we set |
| What can we get away with? |
| In that at least we’re the same |
| The only way we find of hiding the hurt we feel |
| Is more unnecessary pain |
| Each time you |
| Draw in like a breath |
| It comes out like a knife |
| You feel like offering yourself out |
| Tonight |
| On what a fight |
| The little you can expect to get |
| To get from anyone else |
| Makes you look after number one |
| The only helping hand |
| You’ll ever be offered |
| Is the one at the end of your own arm |
| Draw in like a breath |
| It goes tight like a wire |
| You’re trying to shout |
| But your lungs are on fire |
| Draw in like a breath |
| It comes out like a knife |
| You feel like offering yourself |
| Shoplifting my little brother |
| Shoplifting my little sister |
| Said all you got to do is |
| Just a forward through the door |
| But when they come fe check you out |
| You no come back for more |
| Shoplifting my little brederen |
| Shoplifting my little sister |
| Tell me which one would you prefer |
| One hundred pound fine |
| Or three months in prison |
| Me old cock sparra? |
| Shoplifting shoplifting |
| Shoplifting, but a shoplifting |
