Well look at him isn't he a big man
Tearing the flowers up in the park
And getting egged on by his stupid mates
But they've been blowing
On a glowing spark
And I saw that kid just the other day
He plays by the bins in the alleyway
The graffiti on the walls
And he's out of fuel
And he's getting mad
And the people say he's just like his dad
Has he got you shivering?
Sat in the corner quivering?
Cause he ain't what he cracks up to be
His jeans dropped so low just above the knee
And he's sparking up yet another fight
No I got let (?)
And I take a trip down to the market
It's just past (?)
Avoiding the hanging baskets
And the knackered shop sign
I'll get the paper from the newsagents
Where the grocers used to be
Jumpin' on a train outside a closed down factory
There's nothing in the paper
And every story seems the same
And I listen to the drivers voice
As it echoes down the train
And as I step off from the carriage,
I'm so careful to mind the gap
Because there's a nasty fall
Between the yellow lines
And rusted train track
I saw you, I saw you the other day
And you where walking through town
And then, like you
You can do anything now
All you can do is frown
And so I know you feel
Rough today
Gonna take you down
To the sea where
The sun is shining
Everybody laughs
Along with me
(Along with me)
And a quite night in
He says "It's just you and me"
Flowers from the garage
We'll curl up and watch TV
And two bottles of your favourite wine
Thank god it's buy one one get one free
Cause I know you call him cheap
But he just ain't got the money
And he's been running round in circles
Wondering "Why I don't get nowhere"
Cause he knows his destination
But he just can't get there
And you said there was nothing
That can help him through
But I ain't one for accusations
But all the fingers point at you
I saw you, I saw you the other day
And you where walking through town
And then, like you
Don't you know, you can do anything now
All you can do is frown
And so I know you feel
Rough today
Gonna take you down
To the sea where
The sun is shining
Everybody laughs
Along with me
And so I know you feel
Rough today
I'm gonna take you down
To the sea where
The sun is shining
Everybody laughs
Along with me
...
And yeah we were rocking out, jamming out
Singing this song
Skankin' an' a dancing all night lo-o-ong
And all night long
And yeah we were rocking out, jamming out
Singing this song
Groovin' an' dancing all night lo-o-ong
And all night long
And so I know you feel
Rough today
I'm gonna take you down
To the sea where
The sun is shining
Everybody laughs
Along with me
