lyrics
Weepin' around
Following the lights at the end of the week
Like a rabid dog sniffing as you stroll down the streets
Behind the flickering front, there might be some skin to snatch
No rules to follow, there ain't no referee in this match
So many things you want to ask
But everyone's wearing a mask
Hiding behind a golden grin
At the edge of a question mark
Suddenly, it gets so dark
Your confidence is wearing really thin
After a hundred shots of whisky and a frozen beer
You still can't remember how the hell you got in here
Drowning in your drink and staring into space
Spending every second to try and keep a straight face
You got stuck in the Friday game
But all you got's the dead man's hand
And you don't have any cards left up your sleeve
You feel nervous, you crack a joke
Oh, what you'd give for just one smoke
You're just looking for an excuse to leave
As the night of fading hopes finally comes up to an end
You gotta be a thief or you walk home empty-handed
The spoils of victory belong to the winner
You just hope nobody will find you down the gutter
Well, you reckon you lost your way
Tomorrow feels like yesterday
Every effort don't seem worth the try
You're on the wrong side of the gun
And you're feeling so goddamn dumb
You just want to turn your head and cry
You just want to turn your head and cry
Following the lights at the end of the week
Like a rabid dog sniffing as you stroll down the streets
Behind the flickering front, there might be some skin to snatch
No rules to follow, there ain't no referee in this match
So many things you want to ask
But everyone's wearing a mask
Hiding behind a golden grin
At the edge of a question mark
Suddenly, it gets so dark
Your confidence is wearing really thin
After a hundred shots of whisky and a frozen beer
You still can't remember how the hell you got in here
Drowning in your drink and staring into space
Spending every second to try and keep a straight face
You got stuck in the Friday game
But all you got's the dead man's hand
And you don't have any cards left up your sleeve
You feel nervous, you crack a joke
Oh, what you'd give for just one smoke
You're just looking for an excuse to leave
As the night of fading hopes finally comes up to an end
You gotta be a thief or you walk home empty-handed
The spoils of victory belong to the winner
You just hope nobody will find you down the gutter
Well, you reckon you lost your way
Tomorrow feels like yesterday
Every effort don't seem worth the try
You're on the wrong side of the gun
And you're feeling so goddamn dumb
You just want to turn your head and cry
You just want to turn your head and cry

about
Gentlemen Bastards Bois Colombes, France
L'amitié et la fête auraient pu suffire. Mais un jour de printemps 2010, les futurs Gentlemen Bastards se disent que ce Jam
est celui de trop. Ils feront des chansons, leurs chansons. Ils seront un groupe.
Nourris par la vie parisienne et leurs expériences d'élèves du supérieur, les GBs chantent une musique virile, sans détour, et pleine, ils l'espèrent, de surprises... en mode mineur.
