"Whole Wide World" lyrics

"Whole Wide World"

The streets I used to walk on are full of broken glass
And everywhere I'm looking, there's memories of my past
The filthy flat in Fulham, the smell of sex and gas
I never, ever really knew where I was sleeping next

When the whole wide world's against you and you're standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down and treat you with disdain
When the whole wide world's against you and life's got you on the run
And you think the party's over, but it's only just, only just begun
Oh yeah

Behind the bars of prison, you're never getting out
They wanna break your balls, in those slimy walls
And the guards are lardy louts
The cameras that are watching you, they see a sullen face
Get me out the door, can't keep me in no more
I'm breaking down the gates

When the whole wide world's against you and you're standing in the rain
And you want someone beside you to pull you up again
When the whole wide world's against you and life's got you on the run
And you think the party's over, but it's only just, only just begun

Well, the dreary streets of London, they never promised much
A dead-end job to nowhere and all your dreams are crushed

When the whole wide world's against you and you're standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down and treat you with disdain
And you think the party's over, but it's only just begun
Let's raise a glass, get up and dance, 'cause life's just hit and, hit and
Hit and run
Hit and run
Yeah
The party's over

Yeah
World's against you
