Hostels & Brothels - The Wonder Years

So you found me on the floor

I’m split open at the seams

The lights of Birmingham are wet

And blur in front of me

Today we woke up at 1

But it gets dark here at 3

It’s getting hard to believe in anything

Today I called up my dad

Said «I'm off balance and weak»

I’m feeling homesick for things I know don’t think of me

He said «It's gonna get lighter, son, just wait there and see»

It’s getting hard to believe

Last night in Leeds

Ad and I found ourselves wandering the city

Looking for pizza

All we found was complacency and somewhere to sleep

I’m still waiting for the map to say home’s a week away

The boys are drowning in Strongbow

I’m amazed they can breathe

Weeble’s just got caught stealing a Christmas tree

We drove all the way to Glasgow just watch our defeat

The venue flooded

Guess the band last night was too heavy

Last night in Leeds

Joe was talking to some bar maid

Trying to get lucky

I think it almost worked until he ran into Bobby

That kid pulled the cock-block of the century

I’m still waiting for the map to say home’s a week away

Unless Grey Britain comes to me and says

«It's not so bad if you don’t look at it that way»

Last night in Leeds

The world collapsed all around me

Along with a shelf in the basement of Liv’s house

By two or three, I thought we’d lost Josh and Mikey

They were skyhooking cans they hadn’t emptied out

Last night in Leeds

I know we woke all the neighbours

But I don’t think anybody slept that night

Last night in Leeds

Things got a bit lighter

I guess my dad was right

I’m still waiting for the map to say home’s a week away

Unless Grey Britain comes to me and says

«It's not so bad if you don’t look at it that way»
