Bits of Kids (2002 Remastered Version) Lyrics

It was nothing like that in my day
Here in my town
We didn't get things all our way.
Till we were full-grown
Now they go into pubs.
And you're gonna get mugged
In my town
So you read about it every day
In the headlines
How they take and take and drive away.
Sex and late nights
And it's gotta be wrong.
Because they're so youngThey're only bits of kids.
They're only bits of kids
It's always bits of kids todayShe makes the breakfast, one of eight
All in one room
Each uncle's call keeps them up late.
Yes, in this town

And he won't go home 'cause he'll just be alone till night timeThey're only bits of kids.They're only bits of kids
It's always bits of kids today
Broken cities, 'n' broken homes.
Bits of kids who don't grow whole
Broken cities, 'n' broken hearts.
Bits of people who fall apartAnd it seems there's nothing anyway
Not here in this town
Everything is only yesterday.
And on the way down
And we're gonna be wrong.
So we gotta be strong
In our townWe're bits of kids.
We're only bits of kids
It's only bits of kids today
Bits of kids.
We're always
Here in my town
