Lyrics

I've been dreaming of, sex, drugs and violent retribution Of sound and noise pollution The forgotten revolution I'm not singing a solution I'm just, trying to get something done These songs about friends and times they were few Songs about the future and of course A line or two, for each of you And I, I miss dying, coughing up blood and flying And if you stay sane with both feet on the floor What were you always kicking up dust for? And I don't wanna work no more No I don't wanna work no more I'm gonna make you so proud of me I'm gonna make you so proud of me I hope we live on through postcodes 'Cause only god knows where next I'll go And I'll always sing for people who will not arrest me And girls that I barely know I've been looking up Not at much but it's enough There's hope in homelessness, home in being hopeless And the winds fly in from the coast Remind us to make the most of every chance we get to dance with ghosts of alphabets And as he wrapped his hands around my neck All I could see was you touch his leg And neither makes me all that eager 'Cause it won't be too long til my body is gone And I don't wanna work no more No I don't wanna work no more I'm gonna make you so proud of me I'm gonna make you so proud of me And I don't wanna work no more No I don't wanna work no more I'm gonna make you so proud of me I'm gonna make you so proud of me I hope we live on through postcodes 'Cause only god knows where next I'll go And I'll always sing for people who will not arrest me And girls that I barely know When men get older they laugh less Even dogs wag their tail when they're close to death But I'm going down with my hands by my sides Eyes open wide, and a puppy dog smile And we're not all that fast What we lack in speed we make up with complete disregard for sleep And I don't wanna work no more I'm gonna make you so proud of me I'm gonna make you so proud of me I'm gonna make you so proud of me I'm gonna make you so proud of me I'm gonna make you so proud of me I hope we live on through postcodes 'Cause only god knows where next I'll go And I'll always sing for people who will not arrest me And girls that I barely know I hope we live on through timezones 'Cause only god knows where next I'll go And I'll always sing for people who will not arrest me And girls, girls that I barely know
