Lyrics

"The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers"
Ursula K. Le Guin
It's not a stretch to say
That in the 2000's
You ran the London punk scene
From a tiny bedsit in Camden
You were like The Godfather
I was just a dumb teen
Every band on Household Name
And labels that I've since forgotten
Everyone got helped by you
But we all left you rotting
Rotting away in jail
Because you picked up a habit
I justified it to myself
No visiting a crackhead
But you burned every The King Blues CD
In your warehouse job
You were outside with us at the start
But inside when it took off
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
That I wasn't there for you
I promise
I promise
That I will be there until
We lose our teeth
And lose our minds
But we'll never lose
The spirit of The Fight
You said a couple months ago
That you'd tried to overdose
I've never seen you so happy
To be ripped off but
You came pretty close
If you decide the pain's too much
Just too much for one man
I won't hold it against you
Honestly, I'll understand
But I could not forgive myself
If I wasn't there this time
So I'll see your hopeless ending
And instead I'll raise you mine-
How about you keep drinking your cider
And telling stories with no ending
And I'll keep smoking my weed
And pretending that I am listening?
We can be two grump gits
Growing old disgracefully
And when your gammy leg falls off
Well you can lean on me
I might need one of your lung
You might need one of my livers
But we've got 90s punk rock vinyl
And the chippy by you delivers
So let's call up Iggy
Get the 3 of us together
Everybody's chatting shit
But only we could chat shit forever
As the world around us
Burns right down to the ground
We'll tell the kids to get off our lawn
Whenever they make a sound
Like we were never young
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
That I wasn't there for you
I promise
I promise
That I will be there until
And lose our minds
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
That I wasn't there for you
I promise
I promise
That I will be there until
We lose our teeth
And lose our minds
But we'll never lose
The spirit of The Fight
