WHITE NOISE

Read you like a…

Read you like I should

Read you like I would

Read you like I…

Read you like a open book, dead centre in the fold

You was queuing up, job centre on the dole

On time, two times now, they said you’re on a roll

But every time you roll, seem to end up in the hole again

Hopeless, brought you back to life and then you ghosted

Ghosted, but what’s that?

Water off a duck’s back, crumbs in the moustache

Who am I to talk? I go missing myself

In a fight with the pillow and I’m hitting myself

With the left, right chop, think I’m white belt

And the oven’s so hot that the chicken might melt

When you’re acting like I’m evil, like I’d leave you

I would never do that, that’s illegal

And you can never be free - Just in free fall

It’s the white noise

Painting pictures in me head

With every stroke I slowly notice

All the colours I could see just seem red

So I scream

La la la lala (oi oi oi)

La la la lala (oi oi oi)

La la la lala (oi oi oi)

La la la lala

‘Cause my head’s fizzing like old TV’s

From way back when I was a boy

I live this episode on repeat

And try and make sense of all the noise

Oi oi oi

Think colours and shades

As soft as the glow

Turned off at the mains

I hope that you know

I left the telly on to wake you

Oi oi oi, pantomime or politics

As a young man i scholared in a whirl of bollockings

On top of the world Like a broken monument

But foundations wore thin when our walls were falling in

You’ll burn yourself out before you ever reach the brink

And if you ain’t no fireman, you’ll have to build thicker skin

Seven years bad luck for every glass I clink

And still I sprint toward the finish line with half empty drinks

Charging through the mist and the path eventually sinks

When you realise your house ain’t a home, because it stinks

You was only taught to think with the blunt end of your fist

But you’re running out of armour, your father could be the link

Are we all desensitised of pictures of missing ..

And that’s why we never shared the link?

Just council estate kids, doing council estate things

Until we’re just some county court building enclosed cases

So I scream

La la la lala (oi oi oi)

La la la lala (oi oi oi)

La la la lala (oi oi oi)

La la la lala

‘Cause my head’s fizzing like old TV’s

From way back when I was a boy

I live this episode on repeat

And try and make sense of all the noise

Oi oi oi
