Smokin’ out a bottle and you’re drinking too much wine Doin’ sayin’ things sending shivers down my spine You whisper to your friend and you smile and laugh at me, With a glint in your eye. Walkin’ back home hoping everything will be alright You hope your mother doesn’t smell the scent of last night You walk into your door and she only cries, With disappointment in her eye. Sitting in you’re room goin’ over what happened last night You remember takin drugs but not of the deadly kind You ‘member your best girl leaving you behind, With a tear in her eye.

Why do I feel nothing but joy, why do I see nothing but light? When I’m with you, I’m so gone You’re long black hair, blue eyes caught in my stare, Goin’ no where Cause I feel like the light has been transported, can’t see without light And the grey days, they won’t go away It’s cause she don’t feel the same I understand She’s not the one to blame I freeze every time I see her face Lose control of the beat, I’m so gone Will she ever notice me, I’m just another one of her peers A face lost in the crowd Why do I keep, Why do I keep, Why do I keep doing this to me

Walking down the street last night with his head in the clouds Wondering where the good times went, when and how Talks about the friends he lost and the friends he could’ve had He wonders if his childhood was better could he have been a better dad He gets in fights every night Cause he don’t know wrong from right Tell me little rudeboy (What you gonna do) Has reality not caught on to you Tell me little rudeboy (What you gonna do) Oh what you gonna do He spends his time getting wasted, he passed out on the floor He doesn’t care about the food on the table just “what was the football score” And can he tell you when his child was born, No But he knows the percentage on every bottle that he owns Now he wastes his time reminiscing about the past With a lack of responsibilities it was just him and his lass But now he’s bankrupt outta house and home The saddest story the little rudeboy has ever told He gets in fights everynight Cause he don’t know wrong from right Tell me little rudeboy (what you gonna do) x3 , tell me little rudeboy

Everything is how everything was and nothing really differed ever since I was gone The woman next door still stands and cries and stares outside her window And doesn’t come out to say hello or goodbye It’s been that way for about 5 years ever since ever since ever since her husband died, I guess she died too And the kids in the park are still smoking grass but now their sniffing cocaine they say “no pain no gain” Well I guess nothing really changes We’re all still fucking insane yeah Is it the media to blame or is it just me and you Well I guess nothing really changes And now when the kids get into S1, they’re out having sex getting drunk having too much fun Would it be alright if they lived their lives understood the consequences of the path they were going down , tonight Its like they’ve never heard of contraception is this a national mental regression And what they gonna do in about 3 years when they’re sitting their exams and they got kids on their hands, all right Now boys will be boys now they’ll be fuck boys, treating girls like their pre-owned toys Knockin’ about with their 95s on, takin the huff when the girls don’t give em what they want Im in a town surrounded by users, mandy-takin, heartbreaking abusers And why do they all think that their gods gift I thought they were gods way of taking the piss Outta me and you

Been alone for so long now, twiddling my thumbs staring at pictures on the wall Holding back my tears, now thinking about the times that have gone Remembering the good times all those gigs and the festivals But when tradgedy it struck it left us all outta luck , nothing will ever be the same Wish I could go back to the days When we danced all night and slept all day (Back to the days) When we owned the floor we done it all our way (Back to the days) When our favourite bands played all our favourite songs, And we danced all night long Wish I could go back to the stompin. have you ever felt so broken down, that you know your lost and you know you cnt be found. Have you ever felt so conflicted that you find yourself aimlessly wanderin about town Have you ever felt so distant, that you cannot function all year round When nothings ever right and you feel like everythings went wrong Nothing will ever be the same. I look around the tears for the fallen have fallen to the ground I get back on my feet, put on my boots and dance to this rocksteady beat Grab my guitars grab my brothers in arms its time that we’ll go far We’ll bring this music back alive Goin back to the stompin’ x3 Going back to the stompin
