Got No Say - The Skints

My records are my best friends

And my best friends are more like family

And we started down in the ends

From The Standard to squats in Hackney

Took the sound on the underground

On the tube with my guitar amplifier

Plant it in the ground

Nurture the seed, we don’t deal with factory

Sometimes I just sit back and feel like

We don’t know where we’re going

But know what we have come from

I’d hoped for a lifeline and

A rest from a decade so frantic

I’ve seen my girl at The End

Fire come, to make me stand it

Relapsing and weak I saw

Wet faces and my trust broken

Nothing felt right anymore

A world on the road awoken

Instead I got veritable kin

Just a little bit of camaraderie and a little thinking

Today I fly higher and higher and I

Can’t say I desire what I’d had in mind

Well I miss when my life felt safe

My home faded away

Now I know how I’m not afraid

The music we play

Sometimes I just sit back and feel like

We don’t know where we’re going

But know what we have come from

Years gone by, who am I?

Got no money but I live the life

Take the back seat of this train

Never coming back again

Where we come from we got no say

So fall out the way

Whether blue skies or cold and grey

Real music we play

Sometimes I just sit back and feel like

We don’t know where we’re going

But know what we have come from
