A song from the P7 group at Hillhead PS in Kilmarnock as part of the Rebel Yell songwriting project funded by Creative Scotland.

It all came from playing a couple of chords together, finding a groove and then each group memeber came up with their own lyrics based around someone saying that they hadn't slept the night before...

Pollution World

Standing In The Shade
With eyes wide open
It's like I'm hiding from the sunlight x2
It's just helping me not to burn x2

Somebody help me I don't know where to go x2
So please, can you guide me x2
Someone just help me x2

I've got no money to call home
So you just can't leave me x3
Where will I go x2

I need a new friend can you be the one
You know my heart's been broken x2
All my hope is surrendered x2
