Your my little sinking ship not quit built to hold such weight
We were raised for the suburbs but we took to the waves
And you carry me around from little town,to little town
never knowing how much i need,
never asking a thing of me
I found you on the door step
it was brave to leave your room
mine is a safe place
i'll not abandon you
or that perfect nuclear family , a left behind
now i'm paying too much rents so you buy me some incense
you said you were proud when i stop smoking cigarettes
and i hope that you're not dissapoined
i started again
and at that awful backyard party we stole a bottle of red
hopped a train we got drunk
we sang songs instead and later on the couch you told me
it was the best trip you'd taken
[Chorus]
You're my little sinkin ship not quite built to hold such weight
we were raised for the suburbs, but we took to the waves
and you carry me around from little town,to little town
never knowing how much i need
never asking a thing of me
I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO HIDE FROM THE BOUNCERS AT MY SHOW
I ORGANISED AN ALL-AGES ONE JUST SO YOU COULD GO
AND I WROTE THIS SONG AN HOUR BEFORE
TO TRY AND MAKE YOU SMILE(LAUGH)
AND LIZ DO NOT LOOK UP TO ME
I AM A DRUNKEN MESS
YOU'RE SO g****** CREATIVE
A REAL FOR TO BE RECKONED WITH AND I WILL SAY WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL
THAT I'LL FOLLOW YOU WATHEVER YOU MAY ROAM, YOU MAY ROAM
TODAY'S A FAMILY DAY , SO WE'LL SPEND IT TOGETHER
AND DON'T TELL MUM AND DAD BUT YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE FAMILY MEMBER
AND YOU ALWAYS WERE THE GOOD CHILD
I, THE ONE THAT NEEDED ALL THE ATTENTION
AND YOU ALWAYS TAKE MY SIDE IN BATTLES THAT ARE MINE
AND YOU SAY WIL, YOU f***** UP
AND I PROMISE THAT I WON'T NEXT TIME
AND EVEN THOUGH WE BOTH KNOW I'M GOING TO
I KNOW YOU'LL BE ON MY SIDE
[Chorus]
OH CAUSE' YOU'RE MY LITTLE SINKING SHIP NOT QUITE BUILT TO HOLD SUCH WEIGHT
WE WERE RAISED FOR THE SUBURBS, BUT WE TOOK TO THE WAVES
AND YOU CARRY ME AROUND FROM LITTLE TOWN TO LITTLE TOWN
NEVER KNOWING HOW MUCH I NEED,NEVER KNOWING HOW MUCH I
We were raised for the suburbs but we took to the waves
And you carry me around from little town,to little town
never knowing how much i need,
never asking a thing of me
I found you on the door step
it was brave to leave your room
mine is a safe place
i'll not abandon you
or that perfect nuclear family , a left behind
now i'm paying too much rents so you buy me some incense
you said you were proud when i stop smoking cigarettes
and i hope that you're not dissapoined

You're my little sinkin ship not quite built to hold such weight
