Dead End by Sam Roberts

Sam and co. are friends of mine. We grew up in same hood, etc...

Just wanted to say: this morning, I was mulling and brooding, and this song played off my playlist; I mull and brood no longer. Good to know je suis pas toujours seul…

...merci Sam.

Dead End by Sam Roberts

Oh what’s wrong with me
Said oh what’s wrong with me
I know what I don’t wanna be
A dead end on the family tree
And I just lost my virginity
To a girl who won’t remember me at all
Took her out on a shopping spree
Happiness never happened for free
Could it be that I imagined things

I’m just sad instead of heartbroken

She came home but she’s leaving again
She’s coming back but she won’t say when(chorus)

And I don’t sing songs anymore
I don’t feel young anymore
And it’s hard to conceal
That these tears that I cry are for real

Any more
My pop said I should be like him
My mom says I can live with them

I had to ask my little brother to lend
Me change for the bus ‘til I see him again

I’m getting drunk every day of the week
My ship sunk but it had no leak
A fortune teller on Bishop street
She read my hand and the future is bleak
I’m tired of sitting upon the fence
I’ve got no self confidence
Why don’t I have a circle of friends
I’m so square they don’t even pretend

Don’t give in
You can never let them win
But I get cold
I get cold
Every night, night, night,
Without a prayer in my heart, heart, heart

Oh what’s wrong with me
Said oh Lord what’s wrong with me
I know what I don’t wanna be
A dead end on the family tree
And the train for my salvation
Is departing from the station
She don’t feel like conversation
So I’m talking to myself
I got nobody else
I got my bottle of booze and my stale cigarettes
Down from the shelf
