Hometown Lyrics

I keep on having all these dreams
No, they're not like other people's
Because I'm always falling
I'm not waking up on beaches
Or flocking to the sand on sunny days
But there's no beach for miles
So it's more just cheap cocaine on race days
And waking up in piles of debt
Oh how he wept, oh how he wept, oh how he wept

'Cause he's emptied all his wages
Into the pockets of the boys that he hated

When he was in his hometown
Playing all his favourite sounds
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Playing all his favourite sounds
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on

And he heads out for the night
With dreams of easy women and a watered-down pint
And he'll drink and snort and smoke
Until every single light blurs into one
And then he'll try and swim his way through a sea
Of Balenciaga bags, expensive cars on PCP
And he's stumbling over broken glass and broken dignity
I hope he doesn't get his face broken though
He's not much of a fighter
He just tells the girl he loves her when he doesn't even like her

In his hometown
Playing all his favourite sounds
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Playing all his favourite sounds
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on

And he's so easily persuaded by his need to feel sedated
And the only way to get it is to empty all his wages
Into the pockets of the boys that he hated when he was at school
And he's so easily persuaded by his need to feel sedated
And the only way to get it is to empty all his wages
Into the pockets of the boys that he hated when he was at school
When he was in, when he was in his
When he was in, when he was in his

Hometown
Playing all his favourite sounds
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Playing all his favourite sounds
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on

Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on
