Lyrics of Seventeen Going Under - Acoustic by Sam Fender,Holly Humberstone
I remember the sickness was forever
I remember snuff videos
Cold Septembers, the distances we covered
The fist fights on the beach, the Bizzies round us up
Do it all again next week, an embryonic love
The first time that it scarred
Embarrass yourself for someone
Cryin′ like a child
And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still bugs me now
That′s the thing, it lingers
And claws you when you're down
I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
That's the thing with anger
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
Makes you hurt the ones who love you
You hurt them like they′re nothin′
Oh, oh
You hurt them like they're nothin′
Oh, oh
See, I spent my teens enraged
Spiralin' in silence
And armed myself with a grin
′Cause I was always a fuckin' joker
And buried in the humour
Amongst the white noise and boys′ boys
Locker room talkin' lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God, that kid′s a dab hand
Canny chanter, but he looks sad
Oh God, that kid looks so sad
Oh, oh
And God, the kid looks so sad
Oh, oh
She said the debt, the debt, the debt
So I thought about shiftin′ gear
And how she wept and wept and wept
Luck came and died 'round her
I see my mother
The DWP see a number
She cries on the floor, encumbered
I′m seventeen goin' under
I′m seventeen goin' under
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-yeah
Oh-yeah, oh-ooh-ye-ah-yeah
