Cool and calm and collect
Carry on as we rise from the wreck
It’s cool and calm and collect
Long jump river as we pole vault fence
Live and direct
Never show your devils respect
Never let them see you sweat
Back when I almost lost myself
That time I almost lost my head
The shadows ran across this bed
Close confidants, they cut and fled
Every finger single me out for the blame
That time I almost jumped in front of train
Milly rocking on the edge of the knife
If I die, who’s gonna live this life
Calm down step back breathe in
Armadillo, grow a brand new skin
Boat capsized, developed fins
I took my sorrow and I made a new hymn
Calm down, step back breathe in
Armadillo, grow a brand new skin
Boat capsized, developed fins
I took my sorrow and I made a new hymn
I took my sorrow and I made a new hymn
Cool and calm and collect
Carry on as we rise from the wreck
It’s cool and calm and collect
Long jump river as we pole vault fence
Live and direct
Never show your devils respect
Never let them see you sweat
I wear my pain as a jacket
I wear my pain as a jacket
I lean back, never slacking
I lean back, never slacking
I endure like the last ten pounds in the bank
Converse dirty and the conversation’s frank
Stress go high like a tower
Grief go deep like a valley
A real smile is scarce like a tiger
Fakeness spread all around me
But I’m alive you see
I’m alive you see
I’m alive and for that I give thanks

Can’t complain
All considering
Ten year hustle
Is paying up dividends, yeah
Can’t complain
All considering
Fully stocked fridge
Genuine blessing, oh yeah
Few close calls
Few lost friends
View’s been bleak
Can’t pretend it didn't hurt, no
Made it all the way to thirty seven
Still a long way ‘fore we talk about heaven, long way
Now I got a place of my own
Now I got a place of my own
Mother says how you’ve grown
Mother says how you’ve grown
Life’s looking sweet as scones, yeah
Can I ask for more?
Can’t complain
All considering
Bills been paid
And my bones ain’t shivering yeah
Can’t complain
All considering
Quiet the bad mind
Boy ain’t giving up yet
No regrets
Leave ‘em out in the wash
When I hit the hay
Don’t turn or toss, no way
Mum’s on the phone
Eyes all welly
My dear son
Just saw you on telly
Oh well!
We thank God
A few more people know my name
Hackney and Brisbane
Slow but we get there all the same
Slow and steady is the way
Slow and steady is the way
Slow and steady is the way
Slow and steady
Slow and steady is the way
But I still want more
Yeah I still want more
But I still want more
Yeah I still want more
But I still want more
Yeah I still want more

And we were laughing just the other day, ey
The evening sky went gold to grey
Amongst my friends, a villain with a blade
And we were laughing there
He pushed a tiny knife into my chest, yeah
And all the birds flew from their nests
My eyes went south, and my soul went west, yeah
The coldest night, I saw my breath
Flooding my ears, the sirens blare, ey
Flooding my eyes, the tears
Bare copper coins inside my jeans, yeah
My father absent from my dreams
Wish I could see my mom to say goodbye, yeah
I told her one day I would fly
Over Canary Wharf, the moon by my side
And down below
All of the lights
All of the lights
All of the lights
All of the lights
All of the lights
All of the lights
All of the lights

Verse One (Joshua Idehen)High drama in the Wetherspoon, it’s all kicking off
Galactus versus Dr Doom, it’s all kicking off
The barmaid, belling out enough is enough
It’s falling down on deaf ears, Double Van Gogh
Geezer spilt my rum, better sort it out, son
Sorry, I ain’t got the funds
Go off and suck your mum
The doorman looks away
The punters step back
Brows furrowed, chest out
And the knuckles snap
Rage sweeps the torso
Sweat floods the temple
He-Man had it up to here with Orko
Eyes on the exit
This is why I voted Brexit
Jokes on you cuz I’s born here, innit
Neither packs it in, both expect to win
In another life, Monsieurs
By the TV, in some odd socks to the heater
But the shark rushes in for blood
And the night demands a victor
I guess we better take this outside
I guess we, better take this outside
Verse Two (Adam Kammerling)
Yo
You a king or a princess?
Or a minxish thing to be rinsed by big men?
On the wrong side of the instep
Will you fist swing and the lips split so they drip red
Yeah quick to flip at this sixth sense
Live tense mate
Drink heavyweight
Bench press the day
Do not let your stress emanate
For heaven's sake
Don’t ask for help if you felt a way
You rage down or you celebrate
You binary so no therapy
Boy get surly yeah
Boys head worldly yeah
Boy physi yeah if you get shirty yeah
Speak with chest like all head heard me yeah
Boy dun school that’s dead end learning yeah
Boy tek G-check and get certi
Boy stomp to ketch if the crepes dirty
Never been that puss,
Never been that moist
Never been that Gosche,
Never been that toy,
Never been that sheep
Never been that droid,
Never been that girl
Never been that boy,
It’s all man man
Do life big it’s all man man
Find your way through that dark path,
All bastards holding up lanterns
Speak the language
The where you peeping language
The leave you bleeding language
The hide your fucking feelings language
Screaming anguish, keep it dampened.
The comic book and screens out canon
Feed us up we’re still we’re feeling famished
Whole feeling palette has been abandoned
Deep it bruv we don’t feel the damage
Squeeze the sponge and it streaming rancid
Steaming drunk ‘cus we understand it
Ain’t seeking love, we just seeking anger
Feeling stuck, but can’t weigh the anchor
I think we better take this outside
Ain’t seeking love, we just seeking anger
Feeling stuck, but can’t weigh the anchor
I think we better take this outside
Feeling stuck, but can’t weigh the anchor
I think we better take this outside
