about

This track was written ten years before Fame.
Its mad how things change.
I used to think that "making it" was the be all end all.
Now I really don't care.

lyrics

"Nothing you ever say will change the world."
That's what you're told,
from when you're young until you grow old.
All these faces I know,
they take me to these unfamiliar places that I go.

They say
"Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't.
Just have a laugh along the way.
Give it a go."

"Nothing you ever say will change a thing."
That's what they say.
From the day you're born until you pass away.
You'll do it all for your fifteen minutes of fame.
Your VIP passes and your over-sized sunglasses.

Maybe you'll hate it, maybe you won't.
Just have a laugh along the way.
Give it a go.

Or you can get...

A dead-end job. You'll stay for life.
Council estate flat, kids and wife.
Work at the factory. Carry a knife.
With trackie's tucked into your socks,
and no sign of a job.
You pretend to be a gangster.

I cant help thinking that somethings wrong.
Its the way I am.
I'm just a child trying to be a man.
All these people I know
they run me round in circles to these places that I go.

They say...
"Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't.
Just have a laugh along the way.
Give it a go."

All this came so suddenly.
I'm in the line of fire.
Wasting my time.
I'm bound to be all confused.
Doing all this was the best solution.

Maybe I'll hate it, maybe I won't.
Just have a laugh along the way.
Give it a go.

Or you can get...

A dead-end job. You'll stay for life.
Council estate flat, kids and wife.
Work at the factory. Carry a knife.
With trackie's tucked into your socks,
and no sign of a job.
You pretend to be a gangster.

Maybe you'll make it. Maybe you'll hate it.
Maybe you'll make it. Maybe you'll hate it.
Maybe I'll make it. Probably wont.
Just have a laugh along the way.
Give it a go.

Or you can go and get a...

A dead-end job. You'll stay for life.
Council estate flat, kids and wife.
Work at the factory. Carry a knife.
With trackie's tucked into your socks,
and no sign of a job.
You pretend to be a gangster.

Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.

Underneath all the dirty guitars and drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a melody, you can get away with all sorts.
