Lyrics

My mate Mark said, 'Now making art's not a job
But he was pretty pissed, and he'd be popping to the bogs a lot, you know
Drippy nose, sniffing a bit, he must have had a cough
But he turns to me and says it straight, stuffing chips in his gob at the bus stop
And he's sort of got a point, right?
Annoying though that is
Spend your days painstakingly making something that's objectively shit
For fuck all dough, your mum says it's really good though
But she likes homes under the hammer, so what the fuck does she know
So anyway, I'm sitting on the top deck with my chips and pissed Mark
Who's getting a bit rowdy now, and he's being a bit of an arse, shouting
Some old football chants from when we were little shits
With questionable lyrics about how Posh and Becks conceived their kids
And I go
Fuck, what takes the piss, is more people know the words to this
Than anything that I ever did
And I go Fuck
What takes the piss is
More people know the words to this than anything that I ever did
And I go Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
And I go
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
So I'm sitting the next day, in the place I always sit
My little desk and chair, where I like to write my 'rap hits
Though today I'm just watching YouTube, on how to cook short rib
And South London Trap Kids, being legitimately legit
While what Mark said rattles round, and I admit it's getting to me a bit
How that eight pint philosopher, can tear my shit to shit
I write words that mean something, they've got to do someone right?
Lads shout them drunkenly at each other in clubs on Friday nights
Or someone whispers one as a quip, to their lover as they hold them tight
Well probably not but, that would be nice right?
And while I'm thinking what I'm thinking, the YouTube algorithm
With it's lack of tact or inhibition, plays songs about kittens
And I go
Fuck, what takes the piss, is more people know the words to this
Than anything that I ever did
And I go Fuck
What takes the piss is
More people know the words to this than anything that I ever did
And I go Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
And I go
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
And so Mark you win
I packed it all in, I used to have a proper job
And I can zip myself back into that skin
Get the bus then the train then the bus
Just to get in
To an office that has instant coffee
In massive fuck off catering tins
And some cunts used the wet spoon
And now there's sugar mixed in
I fucking hate sweet drinks
With coffee in my sweet things
Rank
Pretty nasty
But I finish here at five
And after that Mark and I go party
To a song that someone I used to know persevered with and wrote
And now they make a killing when they play it on the radio
And I go
Fuck
And I go Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
And I go
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
