Hard-Fi - Feltham Is Singing Out Lyrics

It started off all right, we'd go out Friday night
And have a drink and do whatever made us feel alright
We'd stay out all weekend, try takin' everythin'
Could never hurt no one and so what
You only live once I thought, 'til I got caught

As if that weren't enough for you, you'd go out Monday too
And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 'til it all caught up with you
You're everyone's best friend, long as they've got somethin'
I did not know you no more, heartbreak, a sickness I can't see
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no

Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out
Tonight a light's gone out, 21 years old and out
Feltham is singin' out

We all went out one night, you got us in a fight
You owed some money to a monkey who had seen you right
You sold your furniture so you could pay him off
They cut the power, can't afford it, you slept on the floor

You can't hold down a job, so then you had to rob
First from your mom and then your friends and then the local shops
But as a criminal, you're just no good at all
You got your collar felt, was so dumb
You thought about skippin' bail, now you're in jail

Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out
Tonight a light's gone out, 21 years old and out
Feltham is singin' out

You don't like prison life, you love to watch the sky
And y'all get beat and injured, end up throwin' up all night
You could not take no more, so when they closed the door
Tied up your sheets, strang yourself up
And then you were no more, no more

Every day I, I, I see your face
As I walk on by past that awful place
23 hours in a cell
Each and every day just locked up livin' hell
Livin' hell, livin' hell

Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out
Feltham is singin' out
