This ones for the homeless romantic
You stare, stay up late giving your take on philosophy
Now its like everything you say is lost on me
Remember when we used to fight every aristocracy
You knew the whole flash dance choreography
Since you started seeing him youve changed
We never see you anymore, it aint the same
You never come out, you never see your mates
Or when we arrange he tells you to stay
You dont have to do that for his sake
Believe I know your sick of seeing your heart break
But some say they swore, since you were born
You attract rats just like magnets, as crack heads who swore
And there so many rats in London, 7.5 million rats in London
Never more than 10 meters from rats in London
Even the great fire of London couldnt burn them
May we know, that all we know is; we know nothing at all
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor
For the homeless romantic
This ones for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
He aint worth the dirt stuck between your toes
He aint worth the hurt that I know youve known
Its aint worth waiting for him to propose
Cause he just proposes that you dont go
And now hes got you down on your knees
Stinking up a bruise every time he breathes
You dont want to stay, but youre too scared to leave
If you come home with no though he wont be pleased
So take the money walk back into the breeze
As your skinny legs start to quiver and freeze
Couples looking at you like youre a disease
But they could never survive the way youve been ablrieved
Its a bad habit no matter how you try
Losing hope is something youve been born to defy
You keep in siting hes a nice guy
Even bought you makeup to cover up your black eye
May we know, that all we know is; we know nothing at all
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor
For the homeless romantic
This ones for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
Youve come a long way since your youth
Your soft skin is now ragged and bruised
And your smile doesnt contain a tooth
Old photographs dont seem like the truth
Cause youre showing the signs of abuse
Covered in tracks after years of use
Overtime the fear is reduced
The grit in your eyes is proof
What dont break us makes us damaged
Yeah its savage but fuck it we manage
It takes more to make us incapable
Were invincible thats inescapable
Achieve the unthinkable fast
Refuse to be defined by your past
So let us all stand up and raise your glass
For the homeless romantic
This ones for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
May we know, that all we know is; we know nothing at all (this ones for the homeless romantic)
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor (this ones for the homeless romantic)
