Itch – Homeless Romantic lyrics

[Intro]
(For the homeless romantic)
This one’s for the homeless romantic

[Verse 1]
You stare, stay up late giving your take on philosophy
Now it’s like everything you say is lost on me
Remember when we used to fight aristocracy
You knew the whole flash dance choreography
Since you started seeing him, you’ve changed
We never see you anymore, it ain’t the same
You never come out, you never see your mates
Or when we arrange, he tells you to stay
You don’t have to do that for his sake
Believe I know you're sick of seeing your heart break
But some say they swore, since you were born
You attract rats just like magnets, as crack heads who swore
And there so many rats in London, 7. 5 million rats in London
Never more than 10 meters from rats in London
Even the great Fire of London couldn’t burn them

[Pre-Chorus]
May we know that all we know is: we know nothing at all
And when we fall, when we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor

[Chorus]
For the homeless romantic
This one's for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
This one's for the homeless romantic

[Verse 2]
He ain’t worth the dirt stuck between your toes
No, he ain’t worth the hurt that I know you’ve known
It’s ain’t worth waiting for him to propose
'Cause he just proposes that you don’t go
And now he’s got you down on your knees
Stinking up a bruise every time he breathes
You don’t want to stay, but you’re too scared to leave
If you come home with no dough he won’t be pleased
So take the money, walk back into the breeze
As your skinny legs start to quiver and freeze
Couples looking at you like you’re a disease
But they could never survive the way you’ve been aggrieved
It’s a bad habit no matter how you try
Losing hope is something you’ve been born to defy
You keep insisting he’s a nice guy
Even bought your makeup to cover up your black eye

[Pre-Chorus]
May we know that all we know is: we know nothing at all
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor

[Chorus]
For the homeless romantic
This one's for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
This one's for the homeless romantic

[Verse 3]
You’ve come a long way since your youth
Your soft skin is now ragged and bruised
And your smile doesn’t contain a tooth
Old photographs don’t seem like the truth
Cause you’re showing the signs of abuse
Covered in tracks after years of use
Over time, the fear is reduced
The grit in your eyes is proof
What don’t break us make us damaged
Yeah it’s savage but fuck it! We manage
It takes more to make us incapable
We’re invincible, that’s inescapable
Achieve the unthinkable fast
Refuse to be defined by your past
So let us all stand up and raise your glass

[Chorus]
For the homeless romantic
This one's for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic

[Outro]
May we know that all we know is: we know nothing at all
(This one’s for the homeless romantic)
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak in through the backdoor
(This one’s for the homeless romantic)
May we know that all we know is: we know nothing at all
(This one’s for the homeless romantic)
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak in through the backdoor
(This one’s for the homeless romantic)
