Empty Cans

But something that was not meant to be is done

And we both go down on the floor and he pushes my head back
So here I am in my house, drinking on my own settee
Stain bottle with a pipe and tin foil on the matt
No you can't, it's not my fault there's wall to wall empty cans

And stick up my two fingers and one more to make three
That slipped inside behind the panel, down the back of it
And this is the start of what was

No-one gives a crap about Mike that's why I'm acting nasty

No-one except yourself that is, no-one except you

Beginning of hard times to come

This was where it all started to get a bit out of hand
I shut the door behind me, huddled up in my coat
'Coz they never stop chattin' till all the rackets gone
No-one's really there fighting for you in the last garrison
It's fucked up that a mans life, can just be attacked

Must have been some leaflets or a bill maybe
Dodgy things going on, actions I regretted
I thought that would be that but then the next bit was mad
Face is in his face and I tell him I understand perfectly
If I want to sit in and drink super tenants in the day I will
Told them to take away the TV and fix it quick snap
'Coz no-one gives a crap about Mike that's why I'm acting nasty
'Coz no-one gives a crap about Mike that's why I'm acting nasty
Scott texted me telling me he'll have a look at the TV for me
He had to unscrew about fifteen screws before he could
He say's, "Don't talk to me like that" and I don't understand
They'd repair the little bit that's broken round on the back
He's shaking his head at this point with the biggest of grins
And I felt like just telling him to fuck right off chap
But just as he did so, he said he saw something
I get up wondering what he's smiling about

It's enough to worry about keeping his own head above
I thought that would be that but the next bit was on top
He said that's the least he could do to square things flat
But something that was not meant to be is done
But something that was not meant to be is done
The next day they took away the TV and told me
If there was any more screws to get out or if we left any in
And when he looked down the back of the TV, his eyes just froze
The end of the something I did not want to end
But I layed it down telling him to fuck right off chap

He's gotta to make sure he's not lonely, not broke
Scott can't have my back till the absolute end
You are the one who's got your back 'til the last deeds done
In all it's glory, my thousand quid
Phoned this company out the yellow pages
Imagining over and over what they're all doing behind my back
The TV man comes back later, knocks on mine
He can't quite believe what he's trying to pull out the slip
Condensation floating off my breath, squinted out the sun
But he's trying to tap me up for more money
I'm looking at it absolutely speechless
Beginning of hard times to come
Or maybe it's the fact that me and Alison really got on
'Coz he's got to look out for what over his horizon

I didn't want to lose the bill in case it was a final warning
The end of the something I did not want to end
I look down the back of the TV and that's where it was
This is where everything started to all turn back
I sat in the kitchen all fucked off
And he grabs my shirt and I grab his face with my hand
And this is the start of what was
You know what you can do with your life, introduce it up your jacksie
Beginning of hard times to come
You know what you can do with your life, introduce it up your jacksie
Then he gets up and runs out the kitchen and out of the door
About 2 this afternoon the last of the people left my house
No-one's going to fucking tell me Jack
To say he's found something in the back of the TV

You know what you can do with your life, introduce it up your jacksie
Before he rammed his hand in saying, "No shit"
Pull the panel off the back to get in the fecking thing
Everyone's a cunt in this life, no-one's there for me
Watching this morning with a beer is much better relying on

Now I'm trying to pull his head down so I can knee it but he's got my ear He's twisting it round so much that it's really hurting me

But can you rely on anyone in this world?
Onto the corner of the fridge which is total agony
Can't quite believe he's trying to pull this fucking stunt on me
I was gonna be late, so I picked up my pace to run
But I's told him he could make it up by fixing the TV
But can you rely on anyone in this world?
And then opting to stay out, it seemed to match
He says it's not like that and I'm like, "Fuck off and die"

He's looking at me absolutely speechless
My jeans feel a bit tight, think I washed them a bit too high

You know what you can do with your life, introduce it up your jacksie
The end of the something I did not want to end

Or maybe it's that I realized that it is true

Scott texted me to say he'd have a look at the TV for me
So he brings his fist up and twats me a good one on my cheek
I knew it was a simple case of the power supply gone on the back
I really feel like things clicked into place at some point
Shouting stuff to me, slams the door shoutin' to me

But what he said about wanting to do the right thing by both mates

No you can't, it's all my fault there's wall to wall empty cans
Everyone wanted this to all go wrong for me from the start
Unknown cunts for mates I was given that don't have my back
So we both tried to get the back off and work out
And this is the start of what was
No-one gives a crap about Mike that's why I'm acting nasty
