At The Edge/ Silly Encores

Back when I was younger they were talking at me
 Never listened to a word I said
 Always yap yap yapping and complaining at me
 Made me think I'd be better of dead
 I don't want to talk about it
 I don't want to hear no lip
 Take your share don't shout about it
 That's your lot remember you're a kid
 They would always teach me that to swear was a sin
 Always speak your mind but not aloud
 Think of something that you want to do with your life
 Nothing that you like that's not allowed
 I've no time to talk about it
 All your stupid hopes and dreams
 Get your feet back on the ground son
 It's exams that count not football teams
 ()
 And I'm running at the edge of their world
 They're criticising something they just can't understand
 Living on the edge of their town
 And I won't be shot down
 Taught me to defend myself and to be a man
 How to kick someone and run away
 Gave me everything that any young man could need
 But don't understand why I won't stay
 Here's your room and here's your records
 Here's your home and here you'll stay
 Here's somewhere I don't believe in
 Wish someone would take it all away
