Back Side of the Day - Tom Dibb

Back Side of the Day Lyrics

Nah ee ay ay ay, encumbered with the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay.
Nah ee ay ay ay, don't settle for the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay
I should of racked up, stacked up, sorted by now.
Mr Mischief just a memory and I'm surfing on crowds
Instead of 27 unemployed mischief's present can't avoid, skating the streets of London town.
I keep my hope up, head up, eyes off the pavement, keep my mind ticking dodging complacent enslavement.
Working, pushing, maybe not enough, but my source is running dry.
(oh) and (oh-oh)
Nah ee ay ay ay, encumbered with the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay.
Nah ee ay ay ay, don't settle for the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay
I barely caught up with this morning when I woke up today, sun's blasting through my blinds but I see life in greys, and I'm staring at the image of a boy long ago, he's grinning back at me 'cause he seems to know.

Well he was born of a time when the planets aligned blessed with a boldness not foreseen by mankind. Well he's a lion, a fighter, a warrior to the end, but he fails to see round the bend.
(oh) and (oh-oh)
Nah ee ay ay ay, encumbered with the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay.
Nah ee ay ay ay, don't settle for the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay
Heere hoe! Bring in the anchor 'cause the boat's got to go
Hear me roar! Don't drag your feet 'cause the tide's gonna go.
Nah ee ay ay ay, encumbered with the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay.
Nah ee ay ay ay, don't settle for the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay
Look at yourself, bring up yourself, when you gonna realise that you got nobody else? (nah ee ay ay ay) Use what you got, don't become what you're not, elevate yourself until you reach the very top
Nah ee ay ay ay.
Nah ee ay ay ay, don't settle for the backside of the day
Nah ee ay ay ay
