A Soho Summer Evening

by Auld

/
1.
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
2.
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 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
