Текст песни: Growing Up In Public + перевод

Ahh, mate

A wise man once said

Just as things start looking up

It all goes to shit again

Story of my fucking life!

I’m growing up, growing up, growing up in public

Growing up, growing up, growing up in public

Growing up, growing up, growing up in public

Growing up, growing up, growing up in public

They told me to act my age

Maybe one day I’ll act it

But for now I’m going backwards, yeah

Lacing up my shoes, buttoning my shirt

I don’t know why I’m bothering, you can’t polish a turd

Is my tie straight?

I did it and I did it all my way

I told you from the get-go

It was my way or the high way

And I weren’t lying then

Ain’t lying now, never been a walk over, ain’t lying down

It’s nothing new to me, the press ain’t ever been too nice

I ain’t surprised, the headline was about the DUI

Think to yourself «what would I have done?»

Somebody popped my watch and then tried to run

We got in a tussle, all the while

I had no idea where my wife had gone, plus I’m poignant on

Whether he’s got a gun or a knife on him

Not knowing if her life was in

Danger why I tried to hold on to the watch and fight the

Then I heard her scream, so I’m guessing he bought more guys with him

Fuck the watch, my priority’s Millie now

You think what I did was so silly now you’ve figured it out?

Worked out the reason for me getting into the whip

Not only is this dickhead who got me kicked

And gotten away with my watch, he’s gone and gotten me in all of this shit

Shame I never caught up to him in the whip, eh?

OK, if I’m being logical, in hindsight then probably, it is not a shame that I

didn’t catch up to the little toerag in the car because that could’ve ended

with me in more trouble than I already am…

DCI Clarke!

Detective Constable Clarke!

I don’t like you… at all

We will never, ever be friends

I don’t wanna be a criminal! I’m nearly 30 years old! I’m a married man!

I wanna move to the country, have children and smoke my… pipe!

With nothing illegal in it!
