Lyrics

Back in school I was taught to be no one
But I failed all the tests and got picked on
Walked the halls in a daze simply dreaming
Of desires I'd be one day fulfilling
Wouldn't call it an ego exactly
I just thought those things matter of factly
Like a spring wound tight I was pensive
Back in my Great British Comprehensive
Try to keep living
Try to keep living
Try to keep living
I know it's just small talk
It's just small talk
It's just small small talk
I know they don't mean it
They don't mean it
They don't mean it anyway
Teachers they tried to be interested
But failed with the talents they're blessed with
It was quicker to ignore the thick kids
Take a break in the staff room, forget it
I was born into Thatcher's disaster
Cruel and selfish the buzzwords that mattered
I don't understand why they'd be praises
'Cause there really was crap in the 80's
That's the generation
That's the generation
That's the generation
I know it's just small talk
It's just small talk
It's just small small talk
I know they don't mean it
They don't mean it
They don't mean it anyway
I know it's just small talk
It's just small talk
It's just small small talk
I know they don't mean it
They don't mean it
They don't mean it anyway
Beat down, washed out, blocked out vision
Remnants, bad printout, collision
Deadlocked, stalemate, full recession
No way back, no future vision
Dead wrist, death row, heart condition
One last chance, one small incision
Come up smelling like a rose
Bloody minds and bloody noses
And we felt so insecure
But I can't say, but I can't say, but I can't say
My embryonic idea
For my senses response was nirvana
I could back in the day I was trying
On my instincts I was relying
Try to keep living
Try to keep living
Try to, try to, try to keep living
I know it's just small talk
It's just small talk
It's just small small talk
I know they don't mean it
They don't mean it
They don't mean it anyway
I know it's just small talk
It's just small talk
It's just small small talk
I know they don't mean it
They don't mean it
They don't mean it anyway
I know it's just small talk
It's just small talk
It's just small small talk
I know they don't mean it
They don't mean it
They don't mean it anyway
