  • Brylcreem, Creatine
    And a bag of Charlie Sheen
    Brylcreem, Creatine
    And a bag of cocaine
    A dulcet man with a dulcet tone
    From a dulcet town and a dulcet home
    He hates me, I like that
    Two arms like big baseball bats
    I bark, he bites back
    A jaw like a fuck off bear trap
    He said "These boots are made for stomping
    And that's just what they'll do
    One of these days these boots are gonna
    Stomp all over you"

    I said I got a penchant for smokes and kicking douches in the mouth
    Sadly for you my last cigarette's gone out

    Concrete to leather

    A heathen from Eton
    On a bag of Michael Keaton
    A heathen from Eton
    On a bag of Michael Keaton
    He thinks he's suave
    You're not suave 'cause you watched Get Carter
    You are a catalogue, plastic Sinatra
    A try-hard, you should've tried harder
    Me, oh me, oh my, Roy
    You look like a walking thyroid
    You're not a man, you're a gland
    You're one big neck with sausage hands
    You are a Topshop tyrant
    Even your haircut's violent
    You look like you're from Love Island
    You stood and the room went silent

    Never fight a man with a perm

    Concrete to leather
    Concrete to leather
    Concrete to leather
    Concrete
    Concrete to leather
    Concrete to leather
    Concrete to leather
    Concrete

    I shut my mouth
    Let's hug it out
    I shut my mouth
    Let's hug it out
    I shut my mouth
    I shut my mouth Writer/s: Adam Devonshire, Joe Talbot, Jon Beavis, Lee Kiernan, Mark Bowen
