At The Edge lyrics

PLAY STIFF LITTLE FINGERS At The Edge video Back when I was younger they were talking at me
Never listened to a word I said
Always yap yap yapping and complaining at me
Made me think I`d be better of dead
I don`t want to talk about it
I don`t want to hear no lip
Take your share don`t shout about it
That`s your lot remember you`re a kid

They would always teach me that to swear was a sin
Always speak your mind but not aloud
Think of something that you want to do with your life
Nothing that you like that`s not allowed
I`ve no time to talk about it
All your stupid hopes and dreams
Get your feet back on the ground son
It`s exams that count not football teams

(Chorus:)
And I`m running at the edge of their world
They`re criticising something they just can`t understand
Living on the edge of their town
And I won`t be shot down

Taught me to defend myself and to be a man
How to kick someone and run away
Gave me everything that any young man could need
But don`t understand why I won`t stay
Here`s your room and here`s your records
Here`s your home and here you`ll stay
Here`s somewhere I don`t believe in
Wish someone would take it all away

(Chorus)
