Ghostown - Ida Lyrics

So whilst im looking at my life what am I lacking in
How can I get it to stop it from happening
Maybe if you could get time to go back again
We'd be adept to correct, tip my hat to them
So whilst im looking at my life what am I lacking in
How can I get it to stop it from happening
Maybe if you could get time to go back again
We'd be adept to correct, tip my hat to them
If I had accepted my step, maybe he'd've made steps
To be more correct, but see he was inept
So that mate would be checked
So I wept, silently crept, false steps
Should have been a tearaway, how many dares a day
He'd have been scared away, blew all my cares away
We'd've stayed in that house in the forest
I'd've got married to Loris, just as I promised
Savage as the wind, I'd've grown from within
Country bumpkin, I'd've figured out something
So the step left, another step, another day
But we moved anyway, so I never got my way
And Loris got married to some other guy
Three children lullaby, so I'm so sullen I
Hang with the wrong crowd, fight, spit, curse loud
Do shit that's not allowed, School grades go down
Change school, change friends, trend old photos
Never stay in place like the littlest Hobo
Go back and forth, the north becomes the south
Now I got this acrid taste in my mouth
So whilst im looking at my life what am I lacking in
How can I get it to stop it from happening
Maybe if you could get time to go back again
We'd be adept to correct, tip my hat to them
Something I could change, it would be with relief
If I could've avoided the beef, I could've saved my teeth
I would've never spoken to Julie, thought I was too cool see
Too cool to see the water in the pool be
Way out of my depth, should've watched my step
Should've hedged my bets, ended in debt and got wrecked
Got kicked in the noggin by bogging bad Danny
Such an arsehole fanny, played the bully uncanny
No pity as he head butts, no tears shed but
Three teeth dead but, all blood red but,
I could've saved that, many times I replayed that
How can I remake that, dreaming of payback
Maybe I'd go back with a hammer
And make his brains splatter
As if life didn't matter
But payback or prison would have messed with my rhythm
And I wouldn't be sitting hear spitting and reminiscing
So whilst im looking at my life what am I lacking in
How can I get it to stop it from happening
Maybe if you could get time to go back again
We'd be adept to correct, tip my hat to them
So whilst im looking at my life what am I lacking in
How can I get it to stop it from happening
Maybe if you could get time to go back again
We'd be adept to correct, tip my hat to them
Always hated the smell, said I would never smoke
Yet to impress Anne, I let the Marlboro choke
A little older on the hill, then I fell for a toke
The effects were evoked, that was my type of folk
I was pre-warned that my Dad was an alchy
And everyone knew about mad-yin Malky
But Jinky's mixtures made for brighter pictures
My brain was tricked, I started missing fixtures
There's a thin line between a drink and a Jakey
Ten years down the line, that line's getting shaky
Dont know if I choose, or if the drink made me
But someday soon, I'll be hoping to break free
If I did it again I'd try to drink responsibly
Buckfast paradox, mushrooms in the tea
I'd get my A levels and go to University
Emerge with a career after a bachelor degree
So whilst im looking at my life what am I lacking in
How can I get it to stop it from happening
Maybe if you could get time to go back again
We'd be adept to correct, tip my hat to them
So whilst im looking at my life what am I lacking in
How can I get it to stop it from happening
Maybe if you could get time to go back again
We'd be adept to correct, tip my hat to them
