Onsind - Here Come the Year Nines lyrics

The shopkeepers 'round here seem
To tremble and trade
In fear There's a lock-out on self-esteem
Discontentment in every dream
Now what do we have left to show
From a season that’s been and gone?
Are we still bracing ourselves for
A sermon that wouldn't come?

I cut my finger once again
I drank and drank 'till I
Was full but the bleeding, it wouldn't end
It soaked my shirt, and stained my skin
I'd cauterise the wound
But I just can't decide where do I begin?

The kids are back in school and the
Screws are all working to rule
It's a crushing change of circumstance from
A new set of arrogant fools
Some refuse to punch the clock
They drowned their work ethic out
At the Jackson dock
Harking back to a 'job for life'
As the shopkeepers shiver in strife

I bit my tongue off in my sleep
Drowning in a crimson cauldron
The taste of metal and rotten meat
Through the incoherent gargling you swore you
Heard me gasp and sing
Where do I begin? (Where do I begin?)
Where do I begin?

Shopkeepers 'round here
(Shopkeepers 'round here)
Seem to tremble and trade in fear
Shopkeepers 'round here
(Shopkeepers 'round here)
Seem to tremble and trade in fear
