leave fast

dark grey vistas of this weathered place, the blue star on the nautilus, the old boys like chimneys, mass of filth and rubbish outside the houses, and broken fridges and torn up sofas, the boy races, tearin' down the beehive road, leadin' out to coastlines, where kids freeze their lungs and, run amongst the rolling dunes away from everyone, oh, leave fast or stay forever, an old man told me to leave fast or stay forever, leave fast or stay forever, ooh-ooh, boarded up windows on the promenade, the shells of old nightclubs, and halfway houses, intoxicated people battlin' on the regular, in a lazy lowlights bar, poor souls sleepin' on shop front doors, being turfed off by the council, forgotten by our government, and selfish little baby with no responsibility, watching people die in the cold, oh, leave fast or stay forever, an old man told me to leave fast or stay forever, an old man told me to leave fast or stay forever, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
