YOU (Prod. everestdidthis)

NANA


Grey skies dripping over post-war streets
Doc Martens echo where the factory sleeps
Static on the telly, Rainy Nights at the fair
Youth in desperation, gelled-up fringe in the air

Basement hearts in a monochrome town
Shuffle of the snare pulling bodies down

Underground where the lost boys found their sound
Underground where the night kept spinning round
Underground every heartbeat shook the ground
We were raw, we were real, we were loud…
We lived underground

Bus ride home with a fanzine dream
Sharp silhouettes in a nicotine seam
Record-shop prophets preaching futures unseen
Church of the outsider, punk-cut and clean

Basement hearts in a monochrome town
Shuffle of the snare pulling bodies down

Underground where the lost boys found their sound
Underground where the night kept spinning round
Underground every heartbeat shook the ground
We were raw, we were real, we were loud…
We lived underground

Underground where the lost boys found their sound
Underground where the night kept spinning round
Underground every heartbeat shook the ground
We were raw, we were real, we were loud…
We lived underground

Underground where the lost boys found their sound
Underground where the night kept spinning round
Underground every heartbeat shook the ground
We were raw, we were real, we were loud…
We lived underground

Underground where the lost boys found their sound
Underground where the night kept spinning round
Underground every heartbeat shook the ground
We were raw, we were real, we were loud…
We lived underground
