olly scragg – been here before lyrics
[verse]
i asked for a melody
heard one scream out in the night and i know
it might escape from me
pleasant frustration in my eyes
another sympathetic prize
i’m too good with words to know exactly what to say
spill poetry on carpets and then look away in shame they’re just
4 small clever phrases
to change nothing at all
i’ll preach a verse of ignorance to people pushed for time
keep it bleak and witty i’m just trying hard to satisfy the
kind virtues of witnesses
who like the dark of the day
[chorus]
so draft me into the fight
and dress me up like the cure
and i don’t want to be young
because i’ve been here before
can’t get the words out my head
they’re swarming under my eyes
and maybe my only hope
was that you’re telling me lies
[verse]
disparaged fashionistas to lead you through a pinstriped maze
heroes of the underworld in irony and chains and well
i’m the voice of suburban pain
bet you’ve not heard that before
my inspirations drying up as connotations drift away
words are just a gamble so there’s nothing i could say except for
don’t look for a meaning
you’d just be wasting your time
[chorus]
so draft me into the fight
and dress me up like the cure
and i don’t want to be young
because i’ve been here before
can’t get the words out my head
they’re swarming under my eyes
and maybe my only hope
was that you’re telling me lies
[verse]
i hope i remember me
and i know that i can never be there again
but i’m going to try my best
pleasant frustration in my eyes
another sympathetic prize
