Streets - Empty Cans lyrics
rate meIf I want to sit in and drink super tennants in the day I will, <br />
No-ones going to fucking tell me jack, <br />
But can you rely on anyone in this world? <br />
No you cant; it's not my fault there's wall to wall empty cans <br />
Everyone wanted this to all go wrong for me from the start, <br />
Its fucked up that a mans life can just be attacked, <br />
Watching this morning with a beer is much better relying on, <br />
Unknown cunts for mates i was given that don't have my back. <br />
Scott texted me to say he'd have a look at the TV for me, <br />
But i layed it down telling him to fuck right off chap. <br />
Phoned this company out the yellow pages; <br />
Told them to take away the TV and fix it quick snap. <br />
The next day they took away the TV and told me they'd repair the little bit, <br />
That's broken round on the back. <br />
I thought that would be that but the next bit was on top, <br />
This was where it all started to get a bit out of hand. <br />
<br />
No-one gives a crap about Mike; <br />
That's why i'm acting nasty. <br />
You know what you can do with your life; <br />
Introduce it up your jacksie. <br />
Coz No-one gives a crap about Mike; <br />
That's why i'm acting nasty. <br />
You know what you can do with your life; <br />
Introduce it up your jacksie. <br />
<br />
The TV man comes back later, knocks on mine, <br />
To say he's found something in the back of the TV, <br />
I'm looking at it absolutely speechless, <br />
Cant quite believe he's trying to pull this fucking stunt on me. <br />
I knew it was a simple case of the power supply gone on the back, <br />
But he's trying to tap me up for more money. <br />
He says it's not like that and im like fuck off and die, <br />
And stick up my two fingers and one more to make three. <br />
He says don't talk to me like that, and i don't understand, <br />
Face is in his face and i tell him i understand perfectly. <br />
And he grabs my shirt and i grab his face with my hand, <br />
So he brings his fist up and twats me a good one on my cheek. <br />
Now im trying to pull his head down so i can knee it, <br />
But he's got my ear; he's twisting it round so much that it's really hurting me. <br />
And we both go down on the floor, and he pushes my head back; <br />
Onto the corner of the fridge which is total agony. <br />
Then he gets up and runs out the kitchen, and out of the door, <br />
Shouting stuff to me, slams the door shoutin' at me. <br />
So here i am in my house, drinking on my own settee; <br />
Everyones a cunt in this life, no-one's there for me. <br />
<br />
No-one gives a crap about Mike; <br />
That's why i'm acting nasty. <br />
You know what you can do with your life; <br />
Introduce it up your jacksie. <br />
Coz No-one gives a crap about Mike; <br />
That's why i'm acting nasty. <br />
You know what you can do with your life; <br />
Introduce it up your jacksie. <br />
<br />

<br />
If I want to sit in and drink super tennants in the day I will, <br />
No-ones going to fucking tell me jack, <br />
But can you rely on anyone in this world? <br />
No you cant; it's all my fault there's wall to wall empty cans. <br />
I sat in the kitchen all fucked off, <br />
Imagining over and over what they're all doing behind my back. <br />
Dodgy things going on, actions i regretted, <br />
Stain bottle with a pipe and tin foil on the matt. <br />
Scott texted me telling me he'll have a look at the TV for me, <br />
And I Felt like just telling him to fuck right off chap. <br />
But what he said about wanting to do the right thing by both mates, <br />
And then opting to stay out - it seemed to match. <br />
But i's told him he could make it up by fixing the TV, <br />
He said that's the least he could do to square things flat. <br />
I thought that would be that but then the next bit was mad, <br />
This is where everything started to all turn back. <br />
<br />
The end of the something i did not want to end, <br />
Begining of hard times to come. <br />
But something that was not meant to be is done, <br />
And this is the start of what was. <br />
<br />
He had to unscrew about fifteen screws before he could pull the panel off the back, <br />
To get in the fecking thing; <br />
But just as he did so, he said he saw something, <br />
That slipped inside behind the panel - down the back of it. <br />
Must have been some leaflets or a bill maybe, <br />
I didn't want to lose the bill incase it was a final warning. <br />
So we both treid to get the back off and work out if there was any more screws to get out, <br />
Or if we left any in. <br />
And when he looked down the back of the TV, his eyes just froze, <br />
Before he rammed his hand in saying, no shit. <br />
He's looking at me absolutely speechless, he can't quite believe what he's trying to pull out the slip. <br />
I get up wondering what he's smiling about, he's shaking his head at this point, <br />
With the biggest of grins; <br />
I look down the back of the TV and that's where it was, in all it's glory - my thousand quid. <br />
<br />
The end of the something i did not want to end, <br />
Begining of hard times to come. <br />
But something that was not meant to be is done, <br />
And this is the start of what was. <br />
<br />
About 2 this afternoon the last of the people left my house, <br />
Coz they never stop chattin' til all the rackets gone. <br />
I really feel like things clicked into place at some point, <br />
Or maybe it's the fact that me and Alison really got on. <br />
Or maybe it's that i realised that it is true; <br />
No-ones really there fighting for you in the last garison. <br />
No-one except yourself that is, no-one except you. <br />
You are the one who's got your back 'til the last deeds done. <br />
Scott can't have my back til the absolute end, <br />
Coz he's got to look out for what over his horizon. <br />
He's gotta to make sure he's not lonely, not broke. <br />
It's enough to worry about keeping his own head above. <br />
I shut the door behind me, huddled up in my coat, <br />
Condensation floating off my breath, squinted out the sun. <br />
My jeans feel a bit tight, think i washed them a bit too high; <br />
I was gonna be late, so i picked up my pace to run. <br />
<br />
The end of the something i did not want to end, <br />
Begining of hard times to come. <br />
But something that was not meant to be is done, <br />
And this is the start of what was. <br />
The end of the something i did not want to end, <br />
Begining of hard times to come. <br />
But something that was not meant to be is done, <br />
And this is the start of what was. <br />
The end of the something i did not want to end, <br />
Begining of hard times to come. <br />
But something that was not meant to be is done, <br />
And this is the start of what was. <br />
The end of the something i did not want to end, <br />
Begining of hard times to come. <br />
But something that was not meant to be is done, <br />
And this is the start of what was.
