kate tempest – where the heart is lyrics

[intro]
and so your off to work again you need to make a wage
but all you kind of feel like it’s a waste of days
measuring the hours of your life in the paper made
now your pleasure is devoured and it’s getting tedious
to take the pace

[verse 1]
i mean your sick of staying late and rising early with
the day to face you know punching numbers in the database
and pretending that you care about the day to day these
office politics man there enough to make your faith decay

[verse 2]
but this morning you were staring in the mirror
clutching your razor blade and you noticed with a
shiver that your face was grey because you realise your
actually p-ssed off when your trains delayed and now
you’ve got this weird feeling that your beginning to
fade away

[verse 3]
but it’s cool it’s cool because you’ve got
this girlfriend who you’ve been seeing for a while now
and yes you love her very much but you don’t feel the
same when she smiles now i mean you only make love with
the lights out and she don’t really seem as on it as
she was but it’s fine i mean now’s the time for
settling down the time for making do so you go home and
you turn your brain off and you rent a film off pay per
view sometimes you wonder what your younger self would
make of you are you happy? in a way your happy like any
of your mates from school i mean the cooler one’s they
all went and got them art’s jobs so now and again you
meet them in the bar and you watch them carry on
like heart throbs and it always ends up messy now
matter how chilled out it starts off all of a sudden
you’ve gone and got yourself involved in a dance off
your like o mate this is great, i’m rushing my -rs- off
[?] your feeling like your on some kind of ride that you
can’t stop now your in a chippy rowing with some pr-ck
who’s got [?] just another night to wake up from and
laugh off and so

[verse 4]
and so just another night to wake up from and laugh off
and so life goes on in a bubble where tunnel vision all
week our weekends are for seeing double how we ever gonna
see that we’re in trouble but like a dog wagging it’s
tail enjoying the stench of it’s own muzzle and so life
goes on in this bubble it’s tunnel vision all week and our
weekends are for seeing double so man how we ever gonna
see that we’re in trouble we’re like a dog wagging it’s
tail expecting a treat for learning how to put on it’s own
muzzle

[verse 5]
meanwhile another you is walking through the city with
your shoulder squared your like man i’m from the ends
you lot don’t know the kind of load i bear your looking
at the people that you p-ss with a ferocious glare
these suits and ties just going on like they don’t know
your there your sick of feeling insignificant your
ambitions brilliant as anybody else is but your
temperament is militant coz every other day brings the
death of an innocent inner city living seeing more
wakes than finnegan all around you is suspicion power
games and fast living everybody’s trying to get paid
can’t even rave without someone getting stabbed over
something it’s a crying shame your like f-ck the higher
plane i want a fast car and a diamond chain and
everybody’s out here trying to find there fame they
want there name’s to ring out like the alarm before
the sirens came when [?] leave the people shaking like
a lion’s mane because they’ve been denied for so long
there so sure they have a prize to claim so is it time
for grief man? is it time for blame? i’ll tell you it’s
time for neither it’s the time for change coz round my
way young boys are given sentences before they even learn
to sign there name and all you’re trying to do is find
your way through the lies and pain still got your heart
set on some new kicks right want them fresh black
nike’s with the blue st-tch right so you’ve been
putting in the hours moved a few bits your like
what’s the point in aiming any higher it seems useless
and so and so [?] small victories in a city full of
rubbish where the children are either over fed or
under nourished where our talents suffocated
before it can be encouraged and our true selves are
completely ignored so tell me what’s the point in
hoping for more when there are soldiers at war? and they
are dying without knowing what for man all you wanna do
is think nothing sit and smoke up a draw your going
nowhere like a boat on a sh-r- oblivious to the ocean
your a token of a broken divorce generation who’s [?]
don’t know the rapport ah just like everybody else i have
my rent to pay all i’m trying to say is we’re so caught
up in the everyday we’ve given all our strength away

[verse 6]
and so and so life goes on the bubble tunnel vision all
week and our weekends are for seeing double so how are
we ever gonna see that we’re in trouble we’re like a
dog wagging it’s tail enjoying the stench of it’s own
muzzle man and so life goes on in the bubble tunnel
vision all week and our weekends well there for seeing
double so how we ever gonna see that we’re in trouble
until we realise there’s a lot more to life than the
everyday struggle
