Where the Heart Is

[Intro]

And so your off to work again you need to make a wage

But all you kind of feel like it's a waste of days

Measuring the hours of your life in the paper made

Now your pleasure is devoured and it's getting tedious

To take the pace

[Verse 1]

I mean your sick of staying late and rising early with

The day to face you know punching numbers in the database

And pretending that you care about the day to day these

Office politics man there enough to make your faith decay

[Verse 2]

But this morning you were staring in the mirror

Clutching your razor blade and you noticed with a

Shiver that your face was grey because you realise your

Actually pissed off when your trains delayed and now

You've got this weird feeling that your beginning to

Fade away

[Verse 3]

But it's cool it's cool because you've got

This girlfriend who you've been seeing for a While now

And yes you love her very much but you don't feel the

Same when she smiles now I mean you only make love with

The lights out and she don't really seem as on it as

She was but it's fine I mean now's the time for

Settling down the time for making do so you go home and

You turn your brain off and you rent a film off pay per

View sometimes you wonder what your younger self would

Make of you are you happy? in a way your happy like any

Of your mates from school I mean the cooler one's they

All went and got them art's jobs so now and again you

Meet them in the bar and you watch them carry on

Like heart throbs and it always ends up messy now

Matter how chilled out it starts off all of a sudden

You've gone and got yourself involved in a dance off

Your like o mate this is great, I'm rushing my arse off

Stood there feeling like your on some kind of ride that you

Can't stop now your in a chippy rowing with some prick

Who's got a fast gob just another night to wake up from and

Laugh off and so

[Verse 4]

And so just another night to wake up from and laugh off

And so life goes on in a bubble where tunnel vision all

Week our weekends are for seeing double how we ever gonna

See that we're in trouble but like a dog wagging it's

Tail enjoying the stench of it's own muzzle and so life

Goes on in this bubble it's tunnel vision all week and our

Weekends are for seeing double so man how we ever gonna

See that we're in trouble we're like a dog wagging it's

Tail expecting a treat for learning how to put on it's own

Muzzle

[Verse 5]

Meanwhile another you is walking through the city with

Your shoulder squared your like man I'm from the ends

You lot don't know the kind of load I bear your looking

At the people that you pass with a ferocious glare

These suits and ties just going on like they don't know

Your there your sick of feeling insignificant your

Ambitions brilliant as anybody else is but your

Temperament is militant coz every other day brings the

Death of an innocent inner city living seeing more

Wakes than Finnegan all around you is suspicion power

Games and fast living everybody's trying to get paid

Can't even rave without someone getting stabbed over

Something it's a crying shame your like fuck the higher

Plane I want a fast car and a diamond chain and

Everybody's out here trying to find there fame they

Want there name's to ring out like the alarm before

The sirens came when they leave the people shaking Like

A lion's mane because they've been denied for so long

There so sure they have a prize to claim so is it time

For grief man? is it time for blame? I'll tell you it's

Time for neither it's the time for change coz round my

Way young boys are given sentences before they even learn

To sign there name and all you're trying to do is find

Your way through the lies and pain still got your heart

Set on some new kicks right want them fresh black

Nike's with the blue stitch right so you've been

Putting in the hours moved a few bits your like

What's the point in aiming any higher it seems useless

And so and so it's small victories in a city full of

Rubbish where the children are either over fed or

Under nourished where our talents suffocated

Before it can be encouraged and our true selves are

Completely ignored so tell me what's the point in

Hoping for more when there are soldiers at war? and they

Are dying without knowing what for man all you wanna do

Is think nothing sit and smoke up a draw your going

Nowhere like a boat on a shore oblivious to the ocean

Your a token of a broken divorce generation who's folks

Don't know the rapport ah just like everybody else I have

My rent to pay all I'm trying to say is we're so caught

Up in the everyday we've given all our strength away

[Verse 6]

And so and so life goes on the bubble tunnel vision all

Week and our weekends are for seeing double so how are

We ever gonna see that we're in trouble we're like a

Dog wagging it's tail enjoying the stench of it's own

Muzzle man and so life goes on in the bubble tunnel

Vision all week and our weekends well there for seeing

Double so how we ever gonna see that we're in trouble

Until we realise there's a lot more to life than the

Everyday struggle
