  • Scratch card glory, or waist-low pleasure?
    Black eyes, nosebleeds, don't look back now
    My white abode, do you remember my white abode?
    But it's such a thrill, just to find out

    Sorry, you're not
    A winner
    With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
    What have you got
    To lose but false intentions
    And a life so pretentious?

    Sorry, you're not

    (Scratch card glory) or waist-low pleasure?
    (Black eyes, nosebleeds) don't look back now
    (My white abode) do you remember?
    I sweat, I ache

    Sorry, you're not
    A winner
    With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
    What have you got
    To lose but false intentions
    And a life so pretentious?

    What? What? What?

    Goodbye, your world is

    Please try again (please try again) Writer/s: Chris Batten, Liam Rory Clewlow, Robert Rolfe, Roughton Reynolds
