LYRICS:
We get through in our very own way
Sipping Sambuca soaking up the rays
Penny on the pavement for the daily wage
Broke as fuck, but we ain't stuck inside your cage
Boozing with the Bench Boys
Boozing with the Bench Boys
Corporate cunts with smug affronts can't rip me from my trip,
I’m blazing on the bench until the high begins to dip,
I linger by the Londis for a guilty toff or two
They look at me like I'm a rabid monkey from the zoo
Shitty pity that's devoid of human empathy,
But I won't turn my nose up coz the hungers eating me
A friendly conversation and a pack of Skittles bro
Bang one in your mouth and then you're fucking good to go
Boozing with the Bench Boys
Boozing with the Bench Boys
You once could see a paper plane go passing through this park
Its tiny pilot whizzed around from dusk into the dark
Picking up the coke cans and discarded cigarettes
He’d trace his tiny body from a fading silhouette
“Stop littering the grass” the park keeper insisted,
But he had to make his portrait just to know that he existed
Coz back at home he lived alone though Mum was always there,
But needles and a rugged heart restrained her to her chair
And the new boyfriend was just another Eminem cliche
I’d hide under the bed until the pounding went away
But nothing drowned him out, quite like a lighter to a spoon
And everyday I’d tell myself I’ll quit this habit soon
But there’s something so seductive in the thought of letting go
And now I sit staring at the friends I use to know
Walking back from work, back to the kingdoms that they’ve made
Back to fuck their lovers on their sofas made of suede,
But I don’t crave the safety of those cosy little arks,
I’ll never trade the beauty of my picture perfect park
I’m boozing with the bench boys
Boozing with the bench boys
We all get through, in our very own way
