THE SMITH STREET BAND LYRICS

"Kids"

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
[x2]

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 with 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
[x2]

And I will let nothing age me,
No matter how much I'm told I have changed, changed, changed.
No 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
