Social Scene

Just another day This quirky town called Bray And as the weekend runs in I prepare myself and get ready The first stop, the coffee shop Where I get an oat flat white and a hello from the over enthusiastic barista There’s yummy mummy’s everywhere, straight from the Happy Pear Ya see I’d love a yummy mummy so I’m trying not to stare And as I ponder along the promenade I see it populated with dry robes, gym gear and the smell of salty sea air I walk past the late bar and I start to reminiscе About the night previous and the young onе I had kissed We laughed, we danced, my hand upon her thigh A lifetime full of romance in a pack of Scampi Fries Then I’m interrupted by the pinging of my phone Can you come in at seven? Ugh lend me an ear to moan Sometimes it’s hard to see I’ve landed on my feet But when I break it down I know I love these streets You all know what I’m at You all know where I’ve been At times it’s hard to cope But that’s the social scene Back behind the shovels “Giz a pint there bro” Overly obliging, fake smiles That’s how you run the Larry show Pause acknowledge the anxiety that I feel Break time, got meself a Tesco meal deal Come back with a positive attitude And alter the way you think “Hold on a second man, hold that thought, I’ve to go and drop this drink” You’re defined by who you know That’s just social currency here “Hey I know you, you were in Brendan’s, in my brothers year” And I can see the whites of his eyes The agendas always clear “No will you goway man, you can’t have a late beer” He defiles his final Guinness And now my shift is finished I cross to the beach adjacent Have I become complacent? The washing of the shoreline as I skim another stone A place that I feel safe A place that I call home Sometimes it’s hard to see I’ve landed on my feet But when I break it down I know I love these streets You all know what I’m at You all know where I’ve been At times it’s hard to cope But that’s the social scene I know I got time but things just feel slow I know I got time but things just feel slow Na na na na Na na na na Na na na na Na na na na
