the other half - feeling for yourself lyrics

ali liked watching the planes fly overhead and the cars driving out over the new bridge
she’d imagine the strangers who were leaving and how one day she’d be one of them, whatever it took

she went searching for the name written on the lamppost on her estate
the one her mum got angry about
but it’s since been painted over and she feels erased and more detached than ever
all the ties that kept her feeling like she belonged
so she went searching for a little connection
but she’s tied to the middle classes + the arts, music, parties and passes
she wonders how grant’s doing since his mum died and whether the council let tony keep his family home

feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
feeling for yourself

and the town itself hasn’t changed that much
the blokes still tell the women to avoid king street
but it is and always has been misinformation
just a fear of others taking what they don’t have themselves
the sad remain sad, and the desperate become guilty
she never much liked the place
but there was a new found fondness
safe, familiar, in step, cyclical
but she kind of revoked her spot a long time ago
it all started with k
she told ali her and her dad’s plans for skipping town
they’d leave in the night, leave her step mum behind
it felt huge, cinematic, until the newspapers caught up with them
she was living the same life, just in some other hole
then there where was becca
her mum told me to go home cause she’d found something, bright white, squeaky clean, on the way home from coll’s
or so her mum said
there’d be less trouble from the police that way and then they were gone

whether it was the drugs on the floor, or ditching in the night
the blue lights and questioning just made it seem that much more attractive
a hint of jealousy, urgency, excitement, and as as ali got older she accepted the sad reality that something bad has to happen for there to be genuine change

feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
feeling for yourself
feeling left behind
