Lyrics
Living Rock? n? roll, has its boundaries
I Sell my soul on the street, to townies
Riding low in this alloy confusion
these astra-logical delusion - s
They make me smile (2)
Your mate, look at ?dat de ?dat box
skinny student cut off his dreadlocks
there I say the rub it does lie
And oh dear son, he cries, a real job with car, makes a real man
So many years till you?ve lost your pension plan
And yet we?ve got to preserve ours
It makes me smile, It makes you smile
They make me smile, It makes you smile
Bringing it back home (2)
(2nd one heaver)
Any spare change? tongues in the autumn air
Walking past; may dare a stare
They make me smile (2)
Most of mine, cast it soft n cold, yo
The sound the shortest ever told
I burn the soles of my feet for you
What did you do, did u do
You smiled absent mindedly
turned the page and read something new to me
