the smith street band - it's alright, i understand lyrics
[verse 1]
walk past the kids all skipping cl-ss
their nervous smiles and too loud laughs
a cigarette gets p-ssed around the boys
celebrity becomes implied with their whitened teeth
cheshire cat smiles
as all around me rushes to the noise
of a holiday i cannot comprehend rolls slowly
as the tram tracks bend around more
choking hazard toys
and the ocean laps dyed green under the footpath
where the sh-r- once stood proud
but n-body’s got time for that now
[chorus]
so i ask for directions even though i know exactly where i am
just want someone to talk to
someone to hold their hand against my hand
say, “it’s alright, i understand”
say, “it’s alright, i understand”
[verse 2]
and i cannot judge and i cannot hide
my coffee teeth and brand name smile
as i’m suckered in by the blinking lights
happy hours, pointless fights
and the taxes i can’t comprehend
i don’t know how much to tip
or where the grand experiment goes
to get f-cked when it gets dark
and i’m magically made to cooperate
and the streets ’round here don’t feel the same
as when i would have wanted to walk down
every avenue arm in broken arm with you
but now my pre-sunrise respite
makes me even less of the right guy
[bridge]
and i’m happy here or i’m comfortable there
but i don’t get to say that much
thought it was another thing we gave up
yeah, yeah, i thought it was another thing we’d given up
[verse 3]
like having friends, relationships
and any chance of stay at home happiness
remembering dollars and cents
and knowing where the f-ck i have slept
but i’d give it all up for a shot at this
i wanna make everything, quit every bad habit that i’m in
remember where i’m from and where i’m going
and find something in me to provide self-esteem
stop living day to day, night to night, dream to dream
i don’t get anything from anything anymore
i don’t love anyone anymore
i don’t love anyone anymore
i don’t love anyone anymore
[chorus]
so i ask for directions even though i know exactly where i am
just want someone to talk to
someone to hold their hand against my hand
say, “it’s alright, i understand”
say, “it’s alright, i understand”
