Leave Fast

Dark grey vistas of this weathered place

The blue star on the Nautilus

The old boys like chimneys

Mass of filth and rubbish outside the houses

And broken fridges and torn up sofas

The boy races, tearin' down the Beehive Road

Leadin' out to coastlines

Where kids freeze their lungs and

Run amongst the rolling dunes away from everyone

Oh, leave fast or stay forever

An old man told me to leave fast or stay forever

Leave fast or stay forever

Ooh-ooh

Boarded up windows on the promenade

The shells of old nightclubs

And halfway houses

Intoxicated people battlin' on the regular

In a lazy lowlights bar

Poor souls sleepin' on shop front doors

Being turfed off by the council

Forgotten by our government

And selfish little baby with no responsibility

Watching people die in the cold

Oh, leave fast or stay forever

An old man told me to leave fast or stay forever

An old man told me to leave fast or stay forever

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
