The Borders - Sam Fender

Come on in Come join the party in the dust and the sand Chip on your shoulder sweat and dirt on your hands Machines in slumber start to lumber outside Head full of numbers see the colors collide Such safest Sanctuary Droppin' them dollars on you thank you very Much by the way no refunds Back into the boneyard badlands we run I saw a siren singing Shifting through the shots-a ringing Frying burning cuts-a stinging Bringing you the pain Come on down and join the party tonight We ain't the kind to turn away from a fight Chips on our shoulders, sweat and dirt on our hands Cause we're breaking down the borders As we light up the lands You ain't a skag, are you? Old TK's shack is just a derelict shell Ain't nothing left now but his notes and the smell He used to watch over the fire and the stone Fan fiction told me that he died all alone Splash bang so corrosive Don't get close if it's explosive Flash gang caustic crew Simmer and smoke in electric blue Hiss goes the radio Vicious malicious a voice we know Soon to reap the seeds you sow Bringing you the pain Come on down and join the party tonight We ain't the kind to turn away from a fight Chips on our shoulders, sweat and dirt on our hands Cause we're breaking down the borders As we light up the lands C'mon trick out yer ride Um... Y'know what they say Better to die At the wheel - crash and burn... Uh... then... eh... die when you're ... Not... in your car... I hate you, Claptrap! Come on down and join the party tonight We ain't the kind to turn away from a fight Chips on our shoulders, sweat and dirt on our hands Cause we're breaking down the borders As we light up the lands

I hate it when I call you up On a Sunday night That means it's Monday for you And weekdays are made for pulling through They are for things that normal people do Those days don't mean a thing to me 'Cause you're away from me I'm tied up to this time zone And most days should be for holding you To do the things that normal people do (Do the things that normal people do) I'm older, not wiser My eyes are darker The time is slipping The memory isn't fading Need to keep going Help me clear the blur I'm coming over, across that border Got nothing to declare Except for this sharp despair Coming to you completely bare Let's start off from where we were Please just don't marry her All I'm really really asking Is you wait for me a little bit longer Put the phone down and grab my hand I wanna scream with you Empty my lungs in the skate pool Meet me up on Garden street I feel like digging up old memories I'm older, not wiser My eyes are darker The time is slipping The memory isn't fading Need to keep going Help me clear the blur I'm coming over, across that border Got nothing to declare Except for this sharp despair Coming to you completely bare Let's start off from where we were Please just don't marry her All I'm really really asking Is you wait for me a little bit longer

It was hot, hot, 100 degrees And the trash overflowed out on the street The heartbreak DJ stepped to me but I just couldn't get enough Of my summer love, oo-we-oo My summer love, oo-we-oo Oh, she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not Oh, she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not Gonna fly so high To a place that we have never seen Ever since you came 'round In a greasy tee and faded jeans, woah I got a cozy pad around the corner Slide a little closer My summer love, oo-we-oo My summer love, oo-we-oo Oh, she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not Oh, she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not Oh, she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not Oh, she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not

Every bully that had maimed you, bled you dry And the blinkered say that boys will be boys And they're just kids being sly And they wonder why some die Every image of perfection starts a goldmine They gave you bulimia, those marketing masterminds Happens all the time All the time And it breaks you up Over time And it breaks you up Over time Every moment in this dark world, I'm terrified Reaching for a light in a gauntlet of toxic paradigms Sometimes I wanna die, sometimes Every headline, they betray you and the little guy But what would you expect from oligarchs and paedophiles Makes you wonder why you even try And it breaks you up Over time And it breaks you up Over time And it breaks you up Breaks you up, breaks you up No one should feel like this No one should feel like this No one should feel like this And it breaks you up Breaks you up, breaks you up And it breaks you up Over time And it breaks you up Over time

Two months since you got back, how have you been and are you bored yet? The weather ain't been bad if you're into masochistic bullshit And every photograph that's taken here is from the summer Some guy won Olympic gold eight years ago, a distance runner And that makes a lot of sense, this place is such great motivation For anyone tryna move the fuck away from hibernation Yoo-hoo Oh-oh, oh Oh, no Well, I grew up in the fallout from the riots in the '90s Static cranes stand lifeless, castin' shadows on the town I stare at that hallowed ocean as if to pick a fight For the dreams my old man dreamt for me lay on the other side Yeah I would leave if only I could find a reason I'm mean because I grew up in New England I got dreams, but I can't make myself believe them Spend the rest of my life with what could have been And I will die in the house that I grew up in I'm homesick I'm homesick I'm homesick Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I would leave if only I could find a reason I'm mean because I grew up in New England I got dreams, but I can't make myself believe them Spend the rest of my life with what could have been And I will die in the house that I grew up in I'm homesick, I'm homesick I'm homesick I'm homesick (here's to my roots) Home (home, yeah, I'm home)
