"Be Lucky" lyrics

We were lost boys in Tesco trolleys
In the football cage hitting volleys
And Maradona's on a Stella can
You were Peter Pan in another lifetime
Like the tower cranes on the sky line
High on the streets of Neverland

We were lost boys until that summer
Never dreamed that we'd bury a brother
But we carried your coffin together man
It took eighteen years, but I finally forgive me
Telling tales of this city has saved me
I've been finding my way, I've been writing my way back to Neverland

So I sing for life, I sing the stories
Of the ones I see before me
Every long lost face round the Poundland wasteland
When I'm homesick I wonder
Through the days when we were younger
On a joyride race round the Poundland wasteland

There are parts of the present and the future me
Still haunted by the boy that I used to be
I'm not the man I thought that I'd grow up to be
Cause I left him behind, just to survive

All those decadent nights and desperate days
I said I'd die young but I chose to stay
Cause your story's not always yours to decide
But this is your life, this is your life

Heaven knows I'll have seen my share
Of hell before I make it there
But when death comes to find me he'll find me alive
Cause this is your life, this is your life

All my grief, my guilt, my shame, my fears
My family and friends kept at bay for years
You see I'm still here for them, not I
This is my life, this is my life

So I sing for life, I sing the stories
Of the ones I see before me
Every long lost face round the Poundland wasteland
When I'm homesick I wonder
Through the days when we were younger
On a joyride race round the Poundland wasteland
