Albert Road

Album: This Could Be Texas (2024)
Play Video
  • Three rocks short of a dry stone wall
    Steve's mate's son used to play in The Fall
    Primary colors on their way to the public house
    To break up a fight between a mistress and her mother
    And her lover and his spouse

    But don't take their prejudice to heart
    They hate everyone
    The world around them never showed
    How loving can be fun

    And that's why they are how they are
    And that's why they don't get very far
    That's why they are how they are
    And that's why they don't get very far

    Chips, gravy and cheese on your knees
    Watching the sun settle down
    When we were younger, we would complain
    "Go find something to do," Mum said
    But there was not
    But now I don't see those cobbles and curbs
    I don't hear the blues anymore
    I've got a war of roses for a head
    I am the stem and I am the thorn

    So don't take our prejudice to heart
    We hate everyone
    The world around us never showed
    How loving can be fun

    And that's why we are how we are
    And that's why we don't get very far
    And that's why we are how we are
    And that's why we don't get very far, ahh Writer/s: Douglas Frost, Lewis Whiting, Lilly Fontaine, Nicholas Eden
