Curse

[Intro]

I mean, I keep saying this over and over again

I don't love this, I don't care about this stuff that much

I'm just too damn good at it to walk away

Too damn good at it to walk away

[Verse 1]

I got ten out of ten in a '90s kid quiz, something to be proud of

We made a pretty small dent in the biz they call show, never made the Sound Of

I don't talk to my friends, they know not to depend, this is a song you can die from

Started at home, sweet home, backed-up debt from my phone and a dotted line to sign on

[Chorus]

And it's a curse, but you can't give up with the last of the punk rockers

Please leave a light on

Please leave a light on

[Verse 2]

I need to learn how to limit my public image, I should stop going on about it

Everyone's childhood was a little bit shit, Larkin was right about it

But I'm an artist, you see, good enough reason for me, run away and join the circus

You should read through my tweets, then maybe you will see I just do it for the company

[Chorus]

And it's a curse, but you can't give up with the last of the punk rockers

Please leave a light on

Please leave a light on

[Bridge]

It's hard enough to chase a dream in this slowly dying industry, do you have the heart?

Are you brave enough? Do you still believe? Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

[Verse 3]

Laughed out the room when Pythagoras said the world wasn't flat

And Vincent van Gogh cut his ear off when he learned of this fact

Mr. Kafka wrote a play that no one ever went and saw

Shakespeare's overrated, Bach is a bore

I only heard of Edgar Allan Poe

From that Halloween Simpsons episode

I've got no BAFTA or Olivier or Golden Globe

I've got lots to tell, nothing to show, it's a curse

[Chorus]

And it's a curse (It's a curse), but you can't give up with the last of the punk rockers

Please leave a light on

Please leave a light on
