lyrics

So apparently I've just turned 25,
A quarter dead but I only just feel alive,
Here we have a tale of a boy who never grew up deep down inside,
It prays on my mind that Maybe I should've tried,
Shoulda got a job with a salary and a suit and a tie,
Blind my eyes and soul and lick the soles of the shoes of some random guy,
Sycophantic smiles, put up with jibes and jibes
And let my soul die, cry myself to sleep at night...

NO.

I'll never let my life just pass me by,
Never forget to climb and dream of life at night,

Shoestrings pull me out into the light,
The b team's here, come Ans have a listen if you like,
Grab a knife and come and get a slice of pie,
From me and mine,
It's all a joke but take the time and enjoy the stories of six months of my mind,

Ups, Downs, side to side things,
Never quite on top of it, never quite win,
Never let a moment pass without a brief sing
gonna make you smile in our brief fling,
Let the record spin,
From tears to grins,
From jeers to kings,
Beats to swing,
With words and sins
The freedom of doing your own thing,
Xmenbteam tugging on your hearts and shoestrings...

Now let it begin.
