Verse 1

From way back when I’ve been doing this

since Slimzee was tearing up Rinse

might not have had hits or that many gigs

but enough to leave my prints

That and have a laugh is all I wonna do

spit a few bars, have a few drinks

Liquid Lounge, it weren’t quite Fabric

But back then to me, that was big

For a kid from a town where you get put down

for doing anything that’s different

I’ve stood up on stage and performed these words

up and down England that I’ve written

17, if you’d told me what I’d done now

I’d shrug my shoulders indifferent

Things like this werent on offer to me

what a mug! ‘Aint life magnificant

VERSE 2

‘Gather your thoughts’ they say

Trouble is I’m a scatter-brain

It’s like trying to take every pill in the rave

more thoughts than lights in an arcade

They must not work in the day

if they sit there for hours and meditate

then sit in a cafe sipping on latte

blogging about some spirtual pathway

My thoughts are bannans, mate

like a bath full of strarving pirhanas

fed Red Bull, Harribo and cocaine

then collpase completley sedate

And I got a day-job, mate

and an evening job on top of that, mate

I’m pulling out hair over pay while

they’re stressing out about soup of the day
