I won’t be there
I won’t be there
When it all comes tumbling down
Left me for dead in the street
Steal the shoes from my feet
Took my watch and wallet too
Kicked me again did it feel good for you
I was dancing enjoying time with my girl
Drinking and laughing with our friends
Saw you watching with a hate in your eyes
Where you from you don’t belong here son
I was born here in this town
Got as much right as you to hang around
Don’t want any hassle let me shake your hand
But you’re too angry brother just don’t know how
When the club closes
Go get some food
Brief encounters
Always tastes so good
You and your crew
Waiting at the Noggin hill
All ready to punch and kill
I’m just the same as you
You live on my Mothers street
You’re brain cells can’t work it out
And you’ve got too left feet
You only know aggression
Have you ever known love
Maybe someday you’ll learn
Get some of the good good stuff
Calm you down my friend
Teach you how to live
Instead of hitting out
Maybe one day you might just give
A little happiness
Let the fear go
Your no less a man
If your heart can grow
So shake my hand now
Walk the other way
Save your fighting spirit
For football on Sunday
