Life Itself (Mercury Prize 2017) - Glass Animals

Written by：Dave Bayley/Glass Animals

Daddy was dumb said that I'd be something special

Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human

Said that he loved each of my two million freckles

When I grew up was gonna be a superstar

I can't get a job so I live with my mom

I take her money but not quite enough

I sit in the car and I listen to static

She said I look fat but I look fantastic

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back gotta get free

I'm waking up lost in boxes outside Tesco

Look like a bum sipping codeine Coca Cola

Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon

Sonic ray gun gonna be a superstar

I can't get a job so I live with my mom

I take her money but not quite enough

I make my own fun in Grandmama's basement

Said I look mad she said I look wasted

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them lean back and breathe
