The Rakes - Leave the City and Come Home lyrics

rate me

o here you in Hoxten two years on

Since you left that little nowhere that you're from

The first weeks you stayed with your ex

Same old argument but without the sex

Now your renting down the road it's not so cheap

Every weekend police tape in the street

Worried looking kids, hoods up, eyes down

We live by ???? the arty crowd

Now he's squaring up

"What phone you got bruv?"

Yeah they're gonna give you grief

You still get home in one piece

In the bar your mates spot a celebrity

But you're not fussed by the gay guy off CBBC

Limos ferry hen-nights to the West End

The night is dragging it's heels to the end

Now he's in your face

"Got any drugs on you mate?"

You get out for some peace

Still get home by half 3 (leave the city and come home)

Now you're home (leave the city and come home)

Crashing out in your coat (leave the city and come home)

Jet lag from the night bus (leave the city and come home)

Planning your escape

No point trying to act all hard

As the kids take the piss, as you walk past

No sane place left to go

Your mates aren't ????

Now he's tearing up (leave the city and come home)

Just needs one night off (leave the city and come home)

Get out of this in one piece (leave the city and come home)

And come home for some sleep

Now your home

Crash out in your coat

Jet lag from the night bus

And plan your escape
