A Lot Of My Mates

A lot of my mates dream about drowning and a lot of them keep ticket stubs
A lot of my mates know the places in their clothing to hide their drugs
For a lot of them, it's their shoes, for a lot of them, it's their bras
A lot of my mates know the drinks menus off by heart
A lot of my mates look through old photos and hours go by
A lot of my mates prefer Summer, they love how late it stays light
A lot of my mates take solace in music but that doesn't make anything any easier
A lot of my mates visit lakes, canals and rivers
Some of these mates have been more than mates and it was such a painful process
One of these mates she stands outside Yes and she looks so good in a green dress
You know we don't believe in truth but I don't care I wanna die looking for it
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
A lot of my mates are up at 4am talking about telekinesis
A lot of my mates don't talk about love until it leaves them lying in pieces
Most of my mates recover and then they do it all over again
A lot of my mates take flyers for things they know they won't go to
A lot of my mates know which pundits they hate and which pundits they don't mind
A lot of my mates don't say what they mean until deep in the night
A lot of my mates get soppy at film night, crumbs all over themselves
A lot of my mates live with a lot of regrets
Some of these mates have been more than mates and it was such a painful process
One of these mates she stands outside Yes and she looks so good in a green dress
You know we don't believe in truth but I don't care I'm gonna die looking for it
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates take a book on a train and we don't read a single word
Me and my mates have never felt so young and we've never felt so old
Me and my mates we wanna change the world
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
But a lot of my mates are just grateful to get the most out of a Meal Deal
A lot of my mates take the pill in the evenings cos that's when they're awake
A lot of my mates delude themselves that only they notice the moon
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all
Me and my mates we understand nothing at all

The Mornings

Have you seen the moon tonight? Nobody would have liked it like you
And have you seen the mornings that were evenings when you walked in the door
And have you heard the birdsong? Can you hear it down the phone?
We're forever turning quietly down every single street
And I'm talking to Megan and she's a barista
She's training to be a drama teacher
And I'm talking to Naz about Football Manager
He's doing quite well with Stevenage Borough
And Sophie's wearing Hollister, Hannah's wearing Trapstar
You're wearing Slazenger and I'm wearing Farah
Ethan's drinking chocolate milk and I'm drinking vodka
Do you know how it is when you're the only passenger?
We lean against the bannister in Canada Water
And I have the Fudge and you have the Maltesers
You connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker
You play Don't Cry For Me, Argentina
And I say Don't Cry For Me, Pochettino
And you do that face you do when I think I'm funny
And Maya goes inside to get some water
And there is only the sky and your Juicy Couture and
Have you seen the moon tonight? Nobody would have liked it like you
And have you seen the mornings that were evenings when you walked in the door
And have you heard the birdsong? Can you hear it down the phone?
We're forever turning quietly down every single street
And now I'm dancing to gabber in half-time drinking amaretto
And you're out somewhere probably being all wholesome
And hang on a minute Harvey's found my capo
He says it's too early for the Late Night Lido
And I don't know what he means or if it just sounds good
And you're out somewhere living life properly
And knowing you, you're probably worrying you're not
And I'm wiping my face paint off in the mirror
Yeah I'm out and about and I'm thinking of you
And I've got nothing to tell you except that it's only you that I've got nothing to tell and
Have you seen the moon tonight? Nobody would have liked it like you
And have you seen dadadadada were evenings when you walked in the door
And have you heard the birdsong? Can you hear it down the phone?
We're forever turning quietly down every single street
When that goal went in, I just didn't believe it
I jumped on the table, the pub went mad
Bought all the shots I could with a tenner
Oh you should have seen me then
You should have seen me bouncing around with a beer in my hand
And jumping around with Tom in my arms
You should have seen me running through the streets without a care in the world
Oh you should have seen me then
And now it's sunrise, I didn't fancy the afters so I'm walking home alone
And the only cars on the streets are the cabs taking people like you and me back home
And maybe you stayed in to do your coursework with Jessie Reyez on in the background
And the clouds are like birthmarks in the sky or something
And every Vauxhall Corsa is shaped like a tear
Listen to me, this is what my songs sound like now
You see the moon tonight? Nobody would have
Were evenings when you walked in the door and
Birdsong can you hear it down the phone?
We're forever we're forever turning quietly down every single
Down every single street down every single down every single street
We're forever turning quietly down every down we're forever quietly turning down every single street we're forever turning quietly down every single street yeah that was good
