SEAGULL - Lee Scott

The seagull glides in the updraft of the moving ship

While your back on land, biting through your lip

Tryna' eat, half asleep on the 2−10 shift

While juice heads rift over bootleg sniff

Drifting in and out while fire lights the canteen

Other than that though life is like a drab dream

Southgate Estate circa 88

Fuck that, knock a Pro Plus back an stay awake

There’s crates to make, three sixty an hour for ale

Don’t be late though piss in the shower and bail

There’s no time to copulate

You can munch your brecky on your break plus you need to watch ye weight

Anyway mate, so it’s laughin' init?

Last nights telly took your fun meter passed the limit

So keep your stupid head down like your scared of the sky

Fuck a hobby you’ll probably work till you die

There’s something in the air but no one seems to care

Cause someone famous died and Beckham bleached his hair

He said he’s out of here but can’t afford the fare

Swears he done something once but it’s all a blur

It’s all a blur, a blur, there, there…

Only one bite left and breaks you a crumb

Bops off and walks away from the sun

With a backdrop of pebble dashed lego houses

Invisible in his Hi Vis yellow trousers

Moving through the streets

Takeaway food and Scooby Doo repeats

Shoulders slouched with a skewed view

(Like) everybody wants to be a lonely grouch who doesn’t even own the couch

their glued too

Keep your windows closed like that’s gonna stop the plumes

Of leaking lethal toxic fumes

Send your letters of thanks to the chemical plants

Smoke your cigarettes and watch celebrities dance

Could of done something, but ya left it to chance

But on the bright side the Reds leathered the Mancs

2−0 via Redknapp and Macca’s feet

Take your blue pill then it’s back to sleep

And don’t wake up till it’s safe to breathe

Then take your Sayers cakes and leave

There’s something in the air but no one seems to care

Cause someone famous died and Beckham bleached his hair

He said he’s out of here but can’t afford the fare

Swears he done something once but it’s all a blur

It’s all a blur, a blur, there, there…
