Housemartins I Bit My Lip Lyrics

The people round here
They just laugh and they sneer
And they never appear to cry
Sit in their chair
With their arms in the air
And they don't seem to care till they die

But I know that the grass is greener on the other side
of the council estate
No car but I won't go far if I haven't the patience to
wait

I bit my lip until it bled
'Yes please' was all I ever said
Now it seems that I'm closer to dreams
Than I thought I would ever be

I bit my lip

I tried to explain
About the fear and the pain
But they say I complain about nothing
My head in my hands
And my feet in the sand
Perhaps you'd understand that it's something But I know that the sky is bluer on the other side of
the playing fields
No map but I know that I can follow the way that I feel

I bit my lip until it bled
'Yes please' was all I ever said
Now it seems that I'm closer to dreams
Than I thought I would ever be

I bit my lip

But I know that the sky is bluer on the other side of
the playing fields
No map but I know that I can follow the way that I feel

I bit my lip until it bled
'Yes please' was all I ever said
Now it seems that I'm closer to dreams
Than I thought I would ever be
I bit my lip
