The Smith Street Band - Young Drunk lyrics

One day there will come a time
When the person you are named after dies
And all of a sudden you're the only one left
And out of something as insincere as pride
You'll change the way you turned on time
To remember the smiles
As we stood out front of the little church
The traffic just close enough to drown out
Whatever we heard the families say
As they waved the hearse away

And tonight I'm getting young drunk
Walking down the streets where I grew up
Knowing that they're to blame
And all the red brick fences look the same
I'm getting young drunk
Walking 'round the streets where I grew up
Knowing that they're to blame
And all the red brick fences look the same

Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh oh, woah oh, woah
Oh oh, woah oh, woah oh

And all alone in the suburbs
I can make as much noise as I want
Without disturbing more than the
Wind did the trees
And passing cars and security lights
Guide my way home through the night
And it feels safe here
And the neighbours aren't close
Enough to hate me

And tonight I'm getting young drunk
Walking 'round the streets where I grew up
Knowing that they're to blame
And all the red brick fences look the same
I'm getting young drunk
Walking round the streets where I grew up
Knowing that they're to blame
And all the red brick fences look the same

Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh oh, woah oh, woah
Oh oh, woah oh, woah oh

But I finally found a home
In a handful of people I was
Lucky enough to bump into
We act like pessimists
But we're in love with it
And I'm in love with you
And our tiny bed in the upstairs front room
Of a run down terrace house
Which is obviously perfect as it sounds

Even in the summer when the cardboard window
That you tape on every day falls out
And wakes us up

And tonight I'm getting young drunk
Walking 'round the streets where I grew up
Knowing that they're to blame
And all the red brick fences look the same
I'm getting young drunk
Walking 'round the streets where I grew up
Knowing that they're to blame
And all the red brick fences look the same

Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh oh, woah oh, woah
Oh oh, woah oh, woah oh oh

All alone in the suburbs
