Home Truths Lyrics

Back in my old neighbourhood

Where nothing comes to any good

I find all my memories have lied

They're closing all the working clubs

Because nothing comes to any good

Hasn't done since the day my old man died

Things were safe as houses

You invested in the crisis

Lost it all on promises and lies

Smother me in luminol

This guilt was never mine to hold

And I will not do as I am told this time

I thought I changed your mind

But in the end I blew it

Call it womankind

But you haven't lived through it

I choke on the have-me-nots

They've overgrown the family plot

I've been buried before

It suits me fine

I'll make friends with death

And we'll go to all the parties

Lately he's been working overtime

Estate boys here break all the rules

Burning down my primary school

And no one hears us even when we shout

I'm running out of living room

Home truths sting and I want them to

I know now I can never make you proud

I thought I changed your mind

But in the end I blew it

Call it womankind

But you haven't lived through it

This is the thanks that I get

I thought I changed your mind

But in the end I blew it

Call it womankind

But you haven't lived through it

I thought I changed your mind

I thought I changed your mind
