Something Heavy

Stomping round the village with you again
I'm clapped out on up and downers tonight
Both know what we're in for tomorrow
Drinking anything as a pre-emptive strike
God, she's full of pain and I know it
Got a kink in her smile that her dad put there
We both know that we're gonna regret it
Selfishly, we stay to dodge a lonely night

Everybody here's got, something heavy
I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off
You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers
Whittling away at this bag of rocks

Carrying each other up the avenue
The city's never felt so tired
Half the joints bombed after COVID
My friends reached for the rope and tied
Oh God, how can we keep missing signals?
We almost lost Joey on that horrid dark night
She grabbed me by the arm
Kissed me to disarm
The anger that've carried like a rock me whole life

Everybody here's got, something heavy
I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off
You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers
Whittling away at this bag of rocks

I'm drinking for two, down in Arthur's Bar
This place severely lost its charm
I'm working on the words that I would have said
Had you have still been around
Oh God, what's in the water in this town?
So many good people falling victim to the dog
So call me if you're down
I'll help you come around
The kettle on a rolling boil until it's sorted out

Everybody here's got, something heavy
I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off
You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers
Whittling away at this bag of rocks

Everybody here's got something heavy
Everybody here's got something heavy
Everybody here's got something heavy
Everybody here's got something heavy

Stumble round the village with you again
I'm clapped out on up and downers tonight
