lyrics

I sat there listened to the beeps become one note; it was time for me to go.
You were like my life support, now I’m on my own.
So pass the gaffer tape, I’ll patch up my ripped-up heart.
I’ve run out of excuses, and I’m bleeding out.

These ain’t the streets I used to know,
Love don’t come here no more.
Where’s my innocence gone?
It’s been replaced by a new set of scars.
This ain’t the girl I used to know,
She don’t come here no more,
Where’s my innocence gone?
It’s been replaced by a new set of scars.

This cold turkey’s giving me dry mouth,
It’s not working, and I want out.
I’ve not slept a night through…
Since you.
The only thing worse than saying I love you,
Is if you say it and she doesn’t care.
She’ll watch your name appear on her screen,
And pretend that it ain’t there.

These ain’t the streets I used to know,
Love don’t come here no more.
Where’s my innocence gone?
It’s been replaced by a new set of scars.
This ain’t the girl I used to know,
She don’t come here no more,
Where’s my innocence gone?
It’s been replaced by a new set of scars.

So if this is love, every time,
It never gets easier, it messes with my mind.
And if this is love, then kid I’m in too deep.
When I can’t tell up from down, the top from the bottom, or my head from my feet.
If this is love, should it hurt this much?
Should it feel like I’m losing you all the time,
Or like we’re constantly out of touch?
And if this is love, should it be this tough?
Would you like a quick game of two-hand touch…
Or would you like it a little bit rough?

The hardest thing I ever did was not send you your song,
I knew you’d love it, but it would be wrong.
Coz we grow old so fast, we reckon we’re wise so young.
Lessons learned, bridges burned, the situation has changed, we still haven’t grown.
It’s time for me to go.

These ain’t the streets I used to know,
Love don’t come here no more.
Where’s my innocence gone?
It’s been replaced by a new set of scars and,
This ain’t the girl I used to know,
She don’t come here no more,
Where’s my innocence gone?
It’s been replaced by a new set of scars.

about

The Bar Stool Preachers image

The Bar Stool Preachers Brighton, UK

The Bar Stool Preachers' experiences have allowed them to create an album that is the perfect blend of intelligent punk anthems and poignant, unsentimental love songs, both combined with the most infectious music you’ll hear this decade. “Grazie Governo” (Italian for “Thank You Government”) exemplifies this, as the tongue-in-cheek title is the first indication that they're wise beyond their years. ... more
