lyrics

i don't know
why october's not right in the south but it's true
in london your bones
feel a different kind of cold
than up here

it feels wrong
my voice doesn't echo the ground that i came from
and i'm sorry the rules
of those classist grammar schools
stole my tongue

they don't understand the scars left here by those southern hands
that you can still feel it
i know like the back of my hand
and i know who you made me and you know who i am

we're still around
my dad told me the world has survived worse than this
those straight lies of blue
and they're coming for you
all the time

when i came home they said i didn't smell the same
i miss the woodsmoke in my clothes and the sound of the rain
and if i belong to anything at all it's these people
and this place
