Kids - The Smith Street Band

If there’s one thing that I’ve learnt it’s that not all bad decisions turn out

bad,

well at least not yet

Cause in sheds like these I’ve shivered through some of the best times of my

life,

and I’m not dead yet

There’s nothing as beautiful as the scramble to the front row of a few

Enough people to keep your arms warm but still not obstruct your view

Of the road-wearied wanderers with the really stoned drummer throwing sweat and

beers

With the city that they’re playing in’s name on the outside of the tin

And she stared straight into his soul on the broken step, he’d stared straight

into everyone’s with his hair between his lips

And everything played out before me like the most obvious story of bravado and

libido, some buzz word, some dead hero

I hope I can keep doing this, I’ll keep staying off the piss, well at least

before we play cause I remember them that way

I’m running from misheard conversations, half-imagined explanations,

my own undying frustration and the feeling that there’s something better than

this

And I know you feel it too and we grow stronger when we move

We’re just kids staring at the sun and we don’t mean nothing to no one

And I know you feel it too and we grow stronger when we move

We’re just kids staring at the sun and we don’t mean nothing to no one

And who the fuck do I think I am to stand here and scream just like I’ve got

some kind of plan

And even if I did I wouldn’t have a single good thing to say about it

Cause all that’s in my head is recycled rhetoric and smart things that my

parents have said, nothing more and nothing less

I never once made any sense can’t sit still long enough to let my hands rest

Speak open sounds at open sores and hope and the ground and know what people

think I am and what I am isn’t the same thing

Wake every day and live a lifestyle lined wtih dying

and the overriding feeling there’s something better than this

And I know you feel it too and we grow stronger when we move

We’re just kids staring at the sun and we don’t mean nothing to no one.

And I know you feel it too and we grow stronger when we move

We’re just kids staring at the sun and we don’t mean nothing to no one.

And I will let nothing age me, no matter how much

I’m told I have changed, changed, changed.

And I will let nothing age me, no matter how much

I’m told I have changed, changed, changed.

And I know you feel it too and we grow stronger when we move

We’re just kids staring at the sun and we don’t mean nothing to no one
