The Youth Series, Part 2: A relationship forged by unbreakable ties
Your Dad banged you up last night
and I shouted at you, cos you wouldn't confide in me
You wandered the streets alone
While I flicked through all the smut on my TV
Standing on my porch, white as a ghost
contemplating whether to come in
You thought against it, made your way back
zipped up your coat and thought you should take it all on your chin
CHORUS
At this young age there are decisions you must make
that unfortunately affect the life you're going to take
It's hard, we know, we've all been there and talked to the wall
because when you're below 18 your opinion doesn't matter at all
Don't give up now, love, only 2 years left to go
til you're a woman not a daughter or some burberry clad lads little hoe
Your Dad hit your Mom last night,
and I ran off cos I just couldn't take it
My life's more important than yours,
only so long that I could fake it
I didn't have the courage to open my door or answer your calls
so I stayed at a friends and went round the bend,
just trying to get away from it all
Your life is tough, yes I know
you've told me enough times, text me countless times
but explain to me how I show
all this love you say you need?
I give it big but I'm only sixteen
CHORUS
At this young age there are decisions you must make
that unfortunately affect the life you're going to take
It's hard, we know, we've all been there and talked to the wall
because when you're below 18 your opinion doesn't matter at all
Don't give up now, love, only 2 years left to go
til you're a woman not a daughter or some burberry clad lads little hoe
If only she had the courage to do what she intended
finished the job, cut all that **** out her gob
her life would have been better ended
So now I sit, forced to wait by her hospital bed
I'm only sixteen, and I'm wishing my burberry queen
and my unborn baby
were both
dead.
