Whole Wide World

The streets I used to walk onAre full of broken glassAnd everywhere I'm lookingThere's memories of my pastThe filthy flat in fulhamThe smell of sex and gasI never ever really knewWhere I was sleeping nextWhen the whole wide world's against youAnd you're standing in the rainWhen all your friends have let you downAnd treat you with disdainWhen the whole wide world's against youAnd that's got you on the runAnd your think the party is overBut it's only just, only just begunOh yeahBehind the bars of prisonYou're never getting outThey wanna break your balls in those slimy wallsAnd the guards are lardy loutsThe cameras that are watching youThey see a sullen faceGet me out the doorCan't keep me in no moreI'm breaking down the gatesWhen the whole wide world's against youAnd you're standing in the rainAnd you want someone beside youTo put you up againWhen the whole wide world's against youAnd life's got you on the runAnd you think the party is overBut it's only just, only just begunWhen the dreary streets of LondonThey never promised muchA dead-end job to nowhereAnd all your dreams are crushedWhen the whole wide world's against youAnd you're standing in the rainWhen all your friends have let you downAnd treat you with disdainAnd you think the party's is overBut it's only just begunLet's raise a glass, get up and dance'Cause life's just hit and, hit and, hit and runHit and run, yeahThe party's overYeahWorld's against you
