Artist: The Smith Street Band
Song: Young Drunk
[Verse 1]
one day there will come a time when
the person you are named after dies
and all of a sudden you re the only one
left
and out of something as insincere as pride
you ll change the way you turned on time
to remember the smiles
as we stood out front of the little church
the traffic just close enough to drown out
whatever we heard the family say
as they waved the hearse away
[Chorus]
and tonight i m getting young
drunk
walking down the streets where i grew up
knowing that they re to blame it
all the red brick fences look the same
i m getting young
drunk
walking round the streets where i grew up
knowing that they re to blame it
all the red brick fences look the same
whoa oh
[Verse 2]
and all alone in the suburbs
i can make as much noise as i want
without disturbing more than the wind
in the trees and
passing cars and security lights
guide my way home through the night
i feel safe here
and the neighbours aren t close enough to hate me
[Chorus]
and tonight i m getting young
drunk
walking down the streets where i grew up
knowing that they re to blame it
all the red brick fences look the same
i m getting young
drunk
walking round the streets where i grew up
knowing that they re to blame it
all the red brick fences look the same
whoa oh
[Verse 3]
and i ve finally found a home
in a handful of people i was lucky enough to bump into
we act like pessimists but we re in love with it
and Iâm in love with you
and our tiny bed in the upstairs front room
of a rundown terrace house
which is obviously perfect as it sounds
[Bridge]
even in the summer when the
cardboard window that you tape on everyday
falls out and wakes us up
[Chorus]
and tonight i m getting young
drunk
walking round the streets where i grew up
knowing that they re to blame it
all the red brick fences look the same
i m getting young
drunk
walking round the streets where i grew up
knowing that they re to blame it
all the red brick fences look the same
whoa oh
