Nobody’s Son Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coastguards, taking wages
From the ways that come and go
Oh it's frightening, and it's lawless
And it's out there, searching still
[Chorus]
You've got to beat it, to hold it, to loath it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like you
[Verse 2]
Look at all those faces
That conceal their crudest thoughts
And it's disgusting, how a life thing
Can be trained to rip you apart
[Chorus]
You've got to be beat it, to hold it, to love it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like you
And yes it's creepy, it crawls me
It haunts and it lingers and it won't be long, aha
Till he's no one's son, and it's through
[Bridge]
I wanted to go, I wanted to fight
I wanted to get to the top of the wire
I did what it could, now it's through
I wanted to crawl, I kneel down to cry
I pick myself up, take a look at the sky
I was given a loan, to see it through
Coastguards, taking wages
From the ways that come and go
Oh it's frightening, and it's lawless
And it's out there, searching still
[Chorus]
You've got to beat it, to hold it, to loath it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like you
[Verse 2]
Look at all those faces
That conceal their crudest thoughts
And it's disgusting, how a life thing
Can be trained to rip you apart
[Chorus]
You've got to be beat it, to hold it, to love it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like you
And yes it's creepy, it crawls me
It haunts and it lingers and it won't be long, aha
Till he's no one's son, and it's through
[Bridge]
I wanted to go, I wanted to fight
I wanted to get to the top of the wire
I did what it could, now it's through
I wanted to crawl, I kneel down to cry
I pick myself up, take a look at the sky
I was given a loan, to see it through
[Chorus]
You've got to be beat it, to hold it, to loath it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like you
And yes it's creepy, it crawls me
It haunts and it lingers and it won't be long, aha
Till he's no one's son, and it's through
You've got to be beat it, to hold it, to loath it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like
And yes it's creepy, it crawls me
It haunts and it lingers and it won't be long, aha
Till he's no one's son, and it's through
You've got to be beat it, to hold it, to loath it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like you
And yes it's creepy, it crawls me
It haunts and it lingers and it won't be long, aha
Till he's no one's son, and it's through
You've got to be beat it, to hold it, to loath it, to leave it or it won't be long, aha
Till he's someone's son, just like
And yes it's creepy, it crawls me
It haunts and it lingers and it won't be long, aha
Till he's no one's son, and it's through

What did Race Horses say about "Nobody's Son"?
Genius Answer
“This song sounds like ‘Radio Gaga’. Queen are obviously a big influence. My Dad always says this thing in Welsh “mae o’n fab i rywun”, which means “he’s somebody’s son”. Your enemy is somebody’s son, or husband or father. In the same way people aren’t born monsters, circumstances turn men into monsters, humans are turned into monsters by being made to perform monstrous acts against other humans, or by being mistreated in some way.
“The feeling of detachment from life was strong in the song in the song, also the idea of being disowned. I think it again comes back to unfair, unsustainable pressures put on people to behave a certain way.”
