Relentless

[Verse 1: Kingsley Hall] You tell yourself it's never too late That there'll always be a chance That thin layer of romance As you dig down, deeper into that grave Tired of being brave for the new wave And it's tough I know Endlessly hearing I told you so, it's relentless So you take it back to the start When your heart beat faster And your eyes glowed wide No worries, no fear, just pride Remembering those nights that didn't stop for days Swearing to stick togеther for always Breakfast without sleep, then going again Evеry conversation life affirming Every glance, a love You smile and stare at each other through the morning mist Still a bit pissed, memories missed That hit of cold air, the tv glare The pace of it all, the disrepair No consequence, no care [Refrain: Kingsley Hall & Pete Doherty] Oh, the good old days Oh, the good old days [Verse 2: Kingsley Hall] And before the lows, come the highs And we rub cheap cans away from our starry eyes Modern life hits hard Like a brick from a prick, continually caught off guard And you're surely not here to just pay bills and then die As you inevitably succumb to the grind But you try and try Yet glimmers of joy shine through Like a special effect in a Hollywood movie You explode, rise up, it's obscene Filling the widescreen You are immaculate, unbeatable, infinite And you try to calm down As vast elements of your life fade into insignificance Those private words in your ear, off record dressing downs From middle management clowns Thanks but no thanks, I'll take my chance And I want to settle down Build back some self esteem But it's easy to shout, and it's easy to scream To tell the world to just fuck off and die But no one is asking why No one is asking why [Refrain: Kingsley Hall & Pete Doherty] Oh, the good old days Oh, the good old days [Outro: Pete Doherty]
