Lyrics

Skag Trendy

[Verse 1: Kieren Webster]

Skag Trendy thinks he knows just what to do

He was only seventeen and he was out screwing the brew

He thought that parents were too old

And teachers told him what to do

He's Mr Skag Trendy, he'd like to talk to you

[Verse 2: Kieren Webster]

He told his mother what he was all about

She didn't acknowledge the cry for help, she just chucked him out

Now he's broke sittin' outside, he's sitting on the floor

He's got nothing else to think about except another score

But before he gets this

He has to go and steal something

And that's not something he really wants to do

But you see, when his mother chucked him out, she signed him off the brew

[Refrain: Kieren Webster]

I wish somebody would love him, he doesn't have a home

He wishes somebody would love him, he doesn't have a home

He'd like to speak to his old school friends

But he needs ten pence for the phone

[Verse 3: Kieren Webster]

Had a girlfriend she was very, very nice

Walks by him now, won't look at him twice

Liked his dress sense and his cheeky, cheeky grin

But you see since he's been chucked out he's lost all of them

[Refrain: Kieren Webster & Kyle Falconer]

He's got none (So he writes another sad song)

He's got none (Yes, he writes another sad song)

He's got none (So he writes another sad song)

He's got none (Yes, he writes another sad song)

[Verse 4: Kieren Webster]

Skag Trendy, thinks I know just what to do

I was only seventeen and I was out screwing the brew

I thought that parents were too old

Teachers told me what to do

I'm Mr Skag Trendy, I'd like to talk to you

[Refrain: Kieren Webster]

I wish somebody would love me but I don't have a home

I wish somebody would love me but I don't have a home

I'd like to speak to my girlfriend but I need ten pence for the phone

[Verse 5: Kieren Webster]

One thing can happen to someone in this situation

That is complete and utter social deterioration

Should have clicked on, he was out pawning his PlayStation

Just a young man, he was looking for some variation

[Refrain: Kieren Webster & Kyle Falconer]

He made a mistake (He was looking for some variation)

He made a mistake (He was looking for some variation)

Aw, he made a mistake (He was looking for some variation)

He made a mistake (He was looking for some variation)

[Outro: Kieren Webster & Kyle Falconer]

Skag Trendy

Not so trendy

Aw, Skag Trendy

He was so trendy

Aw (Wow)

Aw (Wow)

Aw

(Wow)
