"Fallowfield Hillbilly" lyrics

The Courteeners Lyrics

"Fallowfield Hillbilly"

So I said is that all that matters anymore?
Who happened to like that band first?
And who likes them more?
Why do you compensate for the fact
That you're clearly oh, so very silly?
By walking around my town
Like a Fallowfield hillbilly?
You know who you are

I've seen the way you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come
Out of Strangeways, because
You won't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on
One hand in glove
Oh, it's just, they're here for the music
The thing that they love

And it was literally carnage at the back of Piccadilly to see who could buy it first
Does the limited edition seven inch quench your thirst
For an album that will probably let you down?
But it doesn't even matter 'cause you don't like that band anymore
'Cause they're not underground

I've seen the way that you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come
Out of Strangeways, because
They don't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on
One hand in glove
I'm gonna ask you, "Can you find your own way home? Are you stuck?"

And please don't think that I'm being a bitch
I just happen to witness a lot of things, which
Get me annoyed because you're filling a void
Have you got nothing better to do?

I've seen the way you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come
Out of Strangeways, because
They don't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
I'm gonna ask you, "Can you play the guitar, my boy?
Can you fuck?"
