The Manor - Alfie lyrics

In and out
In and out
You know what? When I look back on my little life and the birds I've known, and think of all the things they've done for me and the little I've done for them, you'd think I've had the best of it along the line. But what have I got out of it? I've got a bob or two, some decent clothes, a car, I've got me health back and I ain't attached. But I ain't got me peace of mind - and if you ain't got that, you ain't got nothing

I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here
I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here
I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here
I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here

Tryna find something that I just can't lose
Down in the manor where the clocks don't move
These times we might refind time
Or lose our minds to the points we prove
South like Norwood life gets awkward
Things get live outside of the orchard
Feds won't drive down there in onesie
Meeting the city's like leaving the country


But your back by the biscuits
Back like the new Batman if you missed it
Out on the piss still doubting the kiss
While there's still bound to be blue light sounds in the distance
Let's have a vodka and limelight
Time takes time like your mates new lighter
Boys love girls more than we like fights
Still flirt with a pint 'til the rave gets hyper

I've never loved someone the way that I'm loving you
Go on Leesh
Never loved someone
It's all you babe Got a voice on you girl
The way I'm loving you
Oh, oh, oh, I

I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here
I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here

In

My mind said no but my heart over ruled it
Drink played a part but you know what the rule is
Ever in doubt don't you ever dare count
You've got a good hand don't you ever play cautious
These are the times when you mean what you say
Forget what you did 'cause you're deep in the game
Ain't your fault bruv it ain't about blame
You ain't lost your mind you ain't ever been sane
Talking myself through torture and hell
If I'm true to myself she's a fortunate girl
Last man Dwayne might have bought her the world
But it all fell apart when he end up in jail
So I was thinking for the moment
Could we get away from the notion
That playing games is the only way that we safe face
'Cause we ain't showing our emotions

I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here
I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here

In

It's like we're all tied in the Matrix
It's like we've lost sight of the basics
Diamond faces ice in the bracelet
Think that life's about driving an A6
When society is blind to the racist
So a positive mind is the greatest
You'd cop ten if you got enough peng
These times they only drop five to a rapist
Jokers holding the aces
We're the product of a broken society
Made in Chelsea front page of The Sun
While the real news hides on page twenty one
Success with material things
Or is the heart where we find the real kings
Searching for something that I may never know
Torn in the battle of my brain and my soul

I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here
I know I know I know I said I know you feel me baby
But where do we even go from here

In and out

I dunno. It seems to me if they ain't got you one way they've got you another. So what's the answer? That's what I keep asking myself - what's it all about? Know what I mean?
