"tele9raph hill" lyrics
hard life Lyrics
I've come a long way from weeing in pyjama bottoms
Too shy and bottling up my problems
And that was when I wouldn't even tell you nothing
And that some baggage that I've had since I was a kid
I did some weird stuff when I was a kid
Teenage years, yeah I became a little shit
Answering back and always giving it the lip
I had so much anger making me physically sick
Oh, but we smile through it 'cause that's what were taught
The Body Keeps The Score - don't go asking for support
And even if you dare it's unavailable
As far as they can tell this individual's highly capable
Because I made it happen with a a plan
But there's so many little pieces to a man
And all these other voices that I've silence in the past
I'm asking them to stand up on the stage and raise their hand
Its time for them to have a voice and take the mic
'Cause its not easy being the one that people like
It's harder still to be the one that people love
Who knew love would make for a hard life, it's a hard life
Stood upon this hill there's so much that I can see
The Gherkin, The Shard and The National Gallery
In amongst the landmarks there's little bits of me
I see my wedding day - plain as photography
I see my first born child
Yeah they're just like me
Hopelessly devoted to their insecurities
Struggling through their adolescence, saying its a breeze
Wondering why their parents are forcing them to eat their greens
I see other things too
The timeline of you
Your first born child
Yeah, they're just like you!
Looking out for everyone and always on the move
A smile to make the traffic stop and eyes of greeny blue
Volunteering at the homeless shelter making the soup
Swear to make a difference even if for just a few
Yeah they're just like you
Through and through
Conclusive proof
I swear its true
Take a look at all our friends their still living their best
Tehmeena, Damo, Wallyce, Mikey, Pippa and Steph
Shining like Adobes put on special effects
Still waking up on Sundays not quite feeling their best
And, I need to catch my breath
Turn the page just to see what's next
I guess I've made my bed?
Maybe now ill finally get some rest
Too shy and bottling up my problems
And that was when I wouldn't even tell you nothing
And that some baggage that I've had since I was a kid
I did some weird stuff when I was a kid
Teenage years, yeah I became a little shit
Answering back and always giving it the lip
I had so much anger making me physically sick
Oh, but we smile through it 'cause that's what were taught
The Body Keeps The Score - don't go asking for support
And even if you dare it's unavailable
As far as they can tell this individual's highly capable
Because I made it happen with a a plan
But there's so many little pieces to a man
And all these other voices that I've silence in the past
I'm asking them to stand up on the stage and raise their hand
Its time for them to have a voice and take the mic
'Cause its not easy being the one that people like
It's harder still to be the one that people love
Who knew love would make for a hard life, it's a hard life
Stood upon this hill there's so much that I can see
