Hostels and Brothels

[Verse 1]

So you found me on the floor

I'm split open at the seams

The lights of Birmingham are wet

And blur in front of me

Today we woke up at 1

But it gets dark here at 3

It's getting hard to believe in anything

[Verse 2]

Today I called up my dad

Said "I'm off balance and weak"

I'm feeling homesick for things I know don't think of me

He said "It's gonna get lighter, son, just wait there and see"

It's getting hard to believe

[Verse 3]

Last night in Leeds

Ad and I found ourselves wandering the city

Looking for pizza

All we found was complacency and somewhere to sleep

I'm still waiting for the map to say home's a week away

[Verse 4]

The boys are drowning in Strongbow

I'm amazed they can breathe

Weeble's just got caught stealing a Christmas tree

We drove all the way to Glasgow just watch our defeat

The venue flooded

Guess the band last night was too heavy

[Verse 5]

Last night in Leeds

Joe was talking to some bar maid

Trying to get lucky

I think it almost worked until he ran into Bobby

That kid pulled the cock-block of the century

[Chorus]

I'm still waiting for the map to say home's a week away

Unless Grey Britain comes to me and says

"It's not so bad if you don't look at it that way"

[Verse 6]

Last night in Leeds

The world collapsed all around me

Along with a shelf in the basement of Liv's house

By two or three, I thought we'd lost Josh and Mikey

They were skyhooking cans they hadn't emptied out

[Verse 7]

Last night in Leeds

I know we woke all the neighbours

But I don't think anybody slept that night

Last night in Leeds

Things got a bit lighter

I guess my dad was right

[Chorus]

I'm still waiting for the map to say home's a week away

Unless Grey Britain comes to me and says

"It's not so bad if you don't look at it that way"
