The night was young
But for some, the night was old enough
This guilt-free fun
Don't come round often
Some getting food
Some outside sucking on ballons
it's hard to choose
I can't ride a mood
I'm Exercising
How we behaved
Was not concerned with content to create
Weekends, weekdays they all hit the same
Run you away
Doughy body
Devil riddled brain
I'm Exercising

There's drinks after work
But it's been a heavy day
Callum's got some stuff to relieve that weight
We float down Dean street
Thoughts spill from our brains
They're all so important and all so great
Skylines
Cancel my plans
Live a salaryman
Die a Salryman
That's some dedication
Drinking tins in Soho
My social status unclear
I'm no use to most I can't further careers
Gotta stop being myself
To make it around here
Or at least
Or at least
How I appear
Skylines
Cancel my plans
Live a Salryman
Die a Salaryman
That's some dedication
Now I go and relive
Those days I have existed
When my only motive
Was carnage
Now I go and relive
Weekends away with my kids
Without the fear of Mondays emails
And Meetings

We got the boat into Soho
I swapped clothes with a stranger
Old haunts that hold our ghosts
Can't afford this behaviour
Lunching with the sheriff of town
I think they owe me a favour
We ran the business boys out
The member's clubs are all vacant now
I love this place
But sometimes it feels like hate
Cause I can't afford to stay
All welcome to stay and hang around
No one stares with furrowed brow
I'm skipping lunch
Hit the battleground
Oh God I gotta grow this out
Oh God before they throw me out
They take it from me
They take it from you
And there's nothing we can do
They take it from me
They take it from you
And there's nothing we can do
I love this place
But sometimes it feels like hate
Cause I can't afford to stay
All welcome to stay and hang around
No one stares with furrowed brow
I'm skipping lunch
Hit the battleground
Oh God I gotta grow this out
Oh God before they throw me out

I'm A Brave Boy

I’m a brave boy
I only cry when you’re not looking
Watch me go down the slide
Watch me dive into sea
I’m only brave when you are watching me
I still try to impress you
I show off my new dance moves
To the moon, to the moon, to the moon
I don’t find
I don’t find
Peace in hiding in what is behind
And as that high
Hits your eyes
And there’s no pain left to disguise
I’m a brave boy
I watch you die and I’ll do nothing
Watch me harness the numb
Watch me panic and run
I should have become a friend
But I just stayed a son
I don’t find
I don’t find
Peace in hiding in what is behind
And as that high
Hits your eyes
And there’s no pain left to disguise
These sleeves can hold an ocean
You deserved to surf the waves you made
I hate these new emotions
I know I can’t keep you awake
And I never said
All I Wanted To say
So hopefully you knew
Anyway, anyway
