lyrics

The face of a man
Steps out from his silhouette.
The sun breaks the clouds,
And the light over his left shoulder
Peeks around to clear his path.
That’s what I feel like,
That’s what I feel like.
Wear that smile with pride,
Stand up straight – be your grandad’s grandson.
But do you feel alright?
Cause if you don’t,
Know that it’s alright.
Cause fuck that front with your hood up,
Zipped up, fists in pockets I know that they’re clenched up.
Cause that’s what I feel like,
That’s what I feel like.
Beat around the bush,
Pat on the back like a slap,
A wet size 5 straight to the calf on a Sunday morning,
Folks on the side-line yawning
Stick that point so it’s over.
We’re back in the gaff at last
But your heart feels damp, brave face, don’t ask its grand
Cause chaps just chat when pints are passed.
But breath our brother those days won’t last.
From chasing tigers taming wolves
To one-punch knockouts in pubs and fractured skulls
To boys laid out in coffins
‘another gone but not forgotten’
Another final feeling felt and family longing.
Cause our dad’s and grandad's were far from grand
But not a –
Was given to the feelings they had.
But we’re a different generation of lads
So here’s the plate, step up and forget the past.
Cause it’s your chance and mine to let pride resign
And cry in front of your son and let him know it’s alright,
Cause this isle is drenched
With no tears of men who could never open up
About the shit in their head
I'm not saying they’re bad, not saying they’re weak
I’m just done with this bollocks of not being able to speak
So martyr me, pull me apart and scarper
But fuck this place it must think nothing of me.
