The Likeness Of Being - Jamie T

Lost in this skin, go witherin' down

Half-past seven on my upside down

Don’t know where I’m going, don’t know where I’ve been

Just know where I’m moving, gotta go it again

Lost on your estate, don’t know how

Leaving here, gotta get out now

Lost in this place, don’t know now

Leaving soon, but I love you now

Police out lookin' for a blonde-haired woman

She’s five-foot-five, last seen alive

By the Southern Fried Chicken on the High Street, bookin'

A cab from a man that you can’t describe

Her friends scream, «Rape!

«, police, they flash by

Holdin' everybody up, but it’s over now

Found a tossed soul in an old suitcase

And a head floatin' high in the old canal

She says, I know you feel the rage

In the calibre of the cage

It makes you turn away

But I love you anyway

Yeah, April 23rd where the boys all look

St George’s Day, pray it don’t get much worse

And the young ones listen to the elders' words

And they rile them all up screamin', «Britain's First!»

Lean in slow, say, «It ain’t my bag»

So they call you a faggot and they push you back

They go out late night on the attack

And they beat a Tali-man with a baseball bat

She says, I know you feel the rage

In the calibre of the cage

It makes you walk away

And I love you anyway

She says, I know you feel the rage

In the calibre of the cage

It made you walk away

And I love you anyway

Friends all say you’re a coward now

And they make you sniff alone in the King and Cow

Never seen a girl with so much grace

She walked right by with a smile on her face

Said, I’ll be your friend whether using or not

It’s a fine line but it’s all I got

Wrapped in the cage, speak, pick up

And then you hold influence 'til the sun comes up

She says, I know you feel the rage

In the calibre of the cage

It makes you turn away

And I love you every day

She says, I know you feel the rage

It’s the calibre of the cage

It’s made you walk away

And I love you anyway

Whether you’re using or not

Whether you’re using or not

Whether you’re using or not

Whether you’re using or not

Whether you’re using or not

Whether you’re using or not

Whether you’re using or not

Whether you’re using or not
