LYRICS: Sam Fender – Seventeen Going Under

[Verse 1]
I keep in mind the illness was endlessly
I keep in mind snuff movies
Chilly Septembers, the distances we coated
The fist fights on the seashore
The Bizzies spherical us up
Do all of it once more subsequent week
An embryonic love
The primary time that it scarred
Embarrass your self for somebody
Cryin’ like a little one
And the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
Nonetheless bugs me now
That’s the factor, it lingers
And claws you once you’re down

[Verse 2]
I used to be far too scared to hit him
However I’d hit him in a heartbeat now
That’s the factor with anger, it begs to stay round
So it might probably fleece you of your magnificence
And go away you spent with nowt to supply
Makes you damage those who love you

[Chorus]
You damage them like they’re nothin’ (Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You damage them like they’re nothin’ (Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You damage them like they’re nothin’ (Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 3]
See, I spent my teenagers enraged, spirallin’ in silence
And I armed myself with a smile
‘Trigger I used to be at all times the fuckin’ joker
Buried of their humour amongst the white noise and boys’ boys
Locker room talkin’ lads’ lads
Drenched in low cost drink and snide fags
A mirrored image of my outdated man
Oh God, the child’s a dab hand
Canny chanter, however he seems unhappy
God, the child seems so unhappy
God, the child seems so unhappy

[Bridge]
She mentioned the debt, the debt, the debt
So I considered shifting gear
And the way she wept and wept and wept
Effectively, luck got here and died ’spherical right here
I see my mom, the DWP see a quantity
She cries on the ground encumbered

[Chorus]
I’m seventeen goin’ below
I’m seventeen goin’ below (Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I’m seventeen goin’ below (Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I’m seventeen goin’ below (Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I’m seventeen goin’ below
