lyrics

A yellow raincoat cult
and my pocket's really hurt.
Ragga came and went and
they really liked to flirt.
They've taken my shoes
now they're taking my shirt,
but I ain't gonna live in the dirt.
But I'm not the type to bite or bark it,
I'm just the dog that shits on the carpet.

But I know a trick or two
and I'm not to old to learn some new.
I bent the rules, not to much use.
I treat the symptom, bye the disease a drink
And we'll bond over vomit in the kitchen sink.

I've got the purse of a poet.
But these words don't show it.
I found them in the bargain bin,
these prices got me caving in
and I just know it,
I bleed like a poet.

A yellow raincoat cult
and buckets full of hurt,
all in the city where I grew up.
You've gotta be smart and
you've gotta be tough
or you'll need to live on your luck.
Cause life will swap speedos for trousers.
C'mon show them you're a big boy now
if you put in the work it'll work somehow.

I'll pick up the colours for my cheeks,
the ones I left in the gutters of the street.
And that time, I left them in our sheets,
you cleaned up the mess so I wouldn't
rip off Jimi.
