Beauty in the Bricks

by Spit Syndicate

on Sunday Gentlemen (2013)

[Verse 1]
Show me something brand new
Wrong side of the bed but my mind heavy
Lady to the right of me quiet, she lie with me
Said I set my own time if only when I'm ready
And I should have apologised but my pride won't let me
Cos I'm a headstrong brother, mumma told me that
Won't let anybody try hold me back
I hold you close, you can hold me to that
I'mma show you the lanes in the cul de sacs

[Hook:]
There's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from
She just wanna visit the neon lights at night
The neon lights at night
Tell her:
"Said there's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from"
She said she just wanna get a Loui Vuitton on, if that's alright
Yeah that's alright

[Verse 2]
Show me something brand new, though
Something that's out of this world like Pluto
Cos I've been trying to work it out like Cluedo
Have a couple that's twenty who be living like you're thirty
I get tired of hearing "maybe", I'll just go wherever you go
I mean your life ain't over yet
Nothing wrong with it, better, we're over it
New experiences, personal growth and shit
I know it's cozy in that comfort zone, but shit
Live life, man, see new things
And remember how it was, try to keep a few things
Trying to see where you're headed, and everywhere that you been
Got a feeling you can even show me a few things
Trying to see where you're headed, and everywhere that you been
Got a feeling you can even show me a few things
What you think?

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Show me something brand new
Take me somewhere I ain't been
You say you wanna break free, well shit, me too, could you
Show me something brand new
Said I been looking for something new
Said I been looking for something new
Maybe I can find it with you

[Verse 3]
Uh, wrong side of the bed but mind heavy
Lady to the right of me gone, her side empty
She left me a note "goodbye" and then she'll "miss me"
She could be lying at least she's lying with me
Confessions of a rolling stone
No strings, no ties, most nights alone
Few flings on the fly, but nothing to ride home
Got a hole in my heart that I can't quite close
But I been trying, though, tell me your name
Tell me what I wanna hear, and I'mma tell you the same
See I got so settled in my ways
Enough to make me wonder if I'm ever gonna change
And the lies and the attraction
Can't tell if it's a prize or a distraction
Or if I'll ever find satisfaction
In one night stands all these crimes of passion
But maybe that's too strong
Maybe I just wait 'til the day that I'm proved wrong
Or maybe I just been single for a little too long
A little too ready to call it a move on
And I don't wanna do you wrong, I'm bad news
Hide in the right place, but I never can choose
Between what's right and what's right in front of me
Damn, show me something brand new

[Hook]
