Itch - Homeless Romantic lyrics

For the homeless romantic This one's for the homeless romantic Used to stay up late giving yourtake on philosophy Now it's like everything you say's lost on me Remember when we used to fight aristocracy? You knew the whole 'Flash Dance' choreography Since you started seeing him you've changed We never see you anymore it ain't the same You never come out, you never see your mates And when we arrange it he tells you to stay You don't have to do that for his sake Believe I know you're sick of seeing your heart break But some they swore that since he was born He attracts rats like magnets as crackheads all swarm And there's so many rats in London 7.5 million rats in London Never more that 10 metres from rats in London Even the great fire of London couldn't burn them May we know that all we know is; we know nothing at all And when we fall may we dust ourselves off and sneak in through the back door For the homeless romantic, this one's for the homeless romantic Sing one for the homeless romantic, this one's for the homeless romantic He ain't worth the dirt stuck between your toes No he ain't worth the hurt that I know you've known It ain't worth waiting for him to propose Cos he just proposes that you don't go Now he's got you down on your knees Stinking up of booze every time he breathes You don't want to stay but you're too scared to leave And if you come home with no dough he won't be pleased So take the money walk back into the breeze As your skinny legs start to quiver and freeze Couples looking at you like you're a disease But they could never survive they way you've been aggrieved It's a bad hand no matter how hard you try But losing hope is something you were born to defy You keep insisting he's a nice guy Even bought you make up to cover up your black eye May we know that all we know is; we know nothing at all And when we fall may we dust ourselves off and sneak in through the back door For the homeless romantic, this one's for the homeless romantic Sing one for the homeless romantic, this one's for the homeless romantic You come a long way since your youth Your soft skin is now rugged and bruised And you smile don't contain a tooth Old photographs don't seem like the truth Cos you're showing the signs of abuse Covered in tracks after years of use Over time, the fear's reduced The grit in your eyes is proof What don't break us make us damaged Yeah it's savage, but f** it we manage It takes more to make us incapable We're invincible, that's inescapable Achieve the unthinkable fast Refuse to be defined by your past So let us all stand up and raise your gla** For the homeless romantic This one's for the homeless romantic Sing one for the homeless romantic May we know that all we know is; we know nothing at all This one's for the homeless romantic And when we fall may we dust ourselves off and sneak in through the back door This one's for the homeless romantic May we know that all we know is; we know nothing at all This one's for the homeless romantic And when we fall may we dust ourselves off and sneak in through the back door This one's for the homeless romantic
