Seagull
[[VERSE 1]]
The seagull glides in the updraft of the moving ship
While your back on land, biting through your lip
Tryna' eat, half asleep on the 2-10 shift
While juice heads rift over bootleg sniff
Drifting in and out while fire lights the canteen
Other than that though life is like a drab dream
Southgate Estate circa 88
Fuck that, knock a Pro Plus back an stay awake
There's crates to make, three sixty an hour for ale
Don't be late though piss in the shower and bail
There's no time to copulate
You can munch your brecky on your break plus you need to watch ye weight
Anyway mate, so it's laughin' init?
Last nights telly took your fun meter passed the limit
So keep your stupid head down like your scared of the sky
Fuck a hobby you'll probably work till you die
[[Chorus]]
There's something in the air but no one seems to care
Cause someone famous died and Beckham bleached his hair
He said he's out of here but can't afford the fare
Swears he done something once but it's all a blur
X 2
It's all a blur, a blur, there, there...
[[VERSE 2]]
Only one bite left and breaks you a crumb
Bops off and walks away from the sun
With a backdrop of pebble dashed lego houses
Invisible in his Hi Vis yellow trousers
Moving through the streets
Takeaway food and Scooby Doo repeats
Shoulders slouched with a skewed view
(Like) everybody wants to be a lonely grouch who doesn't even own the couch their glued too
Keep your windows closed like that's gonna stop the plumes
Of leaking lethal toxic fumes
Send your letters of thanks to the chemical plants
Smoke your cigarettes and watch celebrities dance
Could of done something, but ya left it to chance
But on the bright side the Reds leathered the Mancs
2-0 via Redknapp and Macca's feet
Take your blue pill then it's back to sleep
And don't wake up till it's safe to breathe
Then take your Sayers cakes and leave
[[Chorus]]
There's something in the air but no one seems to care
Cause someone famous died and Beckham bleached his hair
He said he's out of here but can't afford the fare
Swears he done something once but it's all a blur
X 2
It's all a blur, a blur, there, there...
