Lyrics

The universe was a fresh place We sucked it up as much as possible Never dug on rock'n'roll much With us, it's all decks, trucks, and hospitals Dugs and drum'n'bass carried us Lifted off the buzz of jungle raves Bosh chemical cudgels for the added feeling White boys pirating the culture of the Carribean Can of Red Stripe from the Bedmi' Asda The bass is the bollocks, the drop is the viagra 'Cos we felt hard as fuck boxing the air, bopping in circles Taxing cigarettes, clocking the girls Hadn't figured yet, thе world is complex disorder All we had to do it lеarn the rules and we'd be sorted (But it's never that simple, is it?) None of us had died at that time, that was before Nick Before the fit, before his birthday Before [Hakkan?], before the earthquake, before the funerals Before hindsight made them all beautiful And gave us all stopwatch eyes like, who'd have thought We'd be standing here in suits we don't suit at all? Who could have known? But still nobody cried Instead, we grow fears that keep us turning over at night Unable to keep still, but nobody cried Grief solidifies into meaning over due time Funny, innit, how even good memories hurt? We had a song, I wish I could remember the words (Look, can't you see it?) Can't you see it, bruv? I'm made of deeper stuff I'm made of skateboards, bombs, and Sega beat-em-ups I'm made of bin bags, stacked high for ollying I'm made of fur and the gut rush from dropping in And maybe vodka from the Hotwells Road Spar Panda Pops, Curly-Wurlys and [soap bar?] I'm made of grip tape and piss-takes and broken arms Concrete and [?] and open-heart I'm made of lost tapes, I'm made of lost mates I made in the days when I could barely cut the cross fade And all the lost tapes and all the lost mates I made in the days when I could barely cut the cross fade And bruv, we could have kept on it but it went dark Some of us fell off and some fell apart But none of us forgot and Mick never died 'Cos as long as we're remembered, we are kept alive Here it goes As long as we're remembered, we are kept alive And it goes
