So Sweet
Sherika Sherard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's sever delays on the Northern line
Already running late man I had a long night
Should have stopped on the last Snake Bite
I'm like, oooh
With my back pressed down on the window screen
Man on the left doesn't smell so clean
My stop, finally on my feet
Conversation on this train, to some, it won't seem right
It's too much to smile, I'm always feeling down
But it's so sweet
See the weather always brings us down
So many muscles just to pull a frown
And we wear it everywhere we go
Never to a stranger can we say "hello"
It's so much greener on the other side
Man, I've never been one for the countryside
Lose your eyes, and just like smoke, so broke
Ah man, just how sweet this life can be
And it's so sweet, so sweet, so sweet,
Specially made for you and me
And it's so sweet
The loving loan, with the debts and the frets and the banker's smile
So many things to watch increase, what next, it's the VAT
And we're like "nooo", so we all feel to blame some old smug MP,
Some even turn to the BNP, watch me drink my English tea
You see, these are the days they love to bless our lives
Babies and their teenage mum's, the English pride
It's too much to smile, I'm always feeling down
But it's so sweet
See the weather always brings us down
So many muscles just to pull a frown
And we wear it everywhere we go
Never to a stranger can we say "hello"
It's so much greener on the other side
Man I've never been one for the countryside
Lose your eyes and just like smoke, so broke
Ah man, just how sweet this life can be
And it's so sweet, so sweet, so sweet,
Specially made for you and me
And it's so sweet
