The Filthy Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mid week sneak upon life below the stairs
it's the 21st century
Everyone drinks and no one cares.
And the world is headed for a better place
No smoke in pubs and no disgrace
Sunglasses they hide my face
My eyes will tell the tale.
I take it back down when we were young
Your dad (indecipherable)
Taking all the fun
Can I have it back please?
Can I have it back please?
Oh who loves the sun?
Oh who loves the sun?
Well not everyone.
[Repeat]
It pops its head up around the bend
And shakes your confidence.
Well we’ll work on that:

Something for the drinkers,
Something for the smokers,
Something for the girls in the late night boker.
My red eye keeps me up.
Shorts and a chat now start me up
I met a girl from the wrong side of the bed
Kicks up a fuss and argues
More confusion if you've had a few
Can I have it back please?
I want it back please.
[Chorus Twice]
So what's a bright hot summer daze?
And if you want to hide away
With an umbrella
Keep your man darling
Keep your fella.
Keep my passion and trustworthy
Trust him if you'll have to you
Trust him with your money
The city never sleeps
And I'll earn my money
To earn my keep
Love and seep right through the gaps
Take me somewhere off the map
Can I have it back please?
Can I have it back?
[Chorus Twice]
The Filthy Youth's song Le Soleil is about taking a trip down memory lane and reminiscing about the past. The lyrics begin with describing a scene at a local pub where people are drinking and no one seems to care about the smoking ban. The lyrics also mention how the world is headed for a better place with no smoke in pubs and no disgrace. The singer then takes the listener back to their young days when they used to have fun, but that was taken away by someone. They request for it to be given back to them.
Throughout the lyrics, the singer talks about their confusion and meeting a girl from the wrong side of the bed who argues and kicks up a fuss. They repeat the question, "can I have it back please?" which refers to their youth, passion, and trustworthiness. The chorus is repeated twice, asking who loves the sun, implying no one does. The lyrics end with the singer expressing their desire to be taken somewhere off the map, where love can seep through the gaps.
Overall, the song is about nostalgia and longing for a time when things were simpler and happier. The singer talks about how the world has changed and they wish they could go back in time to relive their youth.
Line by Line Meaning
If you are one for the local boozer
If spending time at a pub is your thing
A mid week sneak upon life below the stairs
Sneaking around during the week to hang out in a dimly-lit spot
it's the 21st century
We're living in a modern age
Everyone drinks and no one cares.
Drinking is a common sight and people don't mind it anymore
And the world is headed for a better place
The future looks bright
No smoke in pubs and no disgrace
Smoking in pubs is outlawed and it's not socially acceptable anymore
Sunglasses they hide my face
Wearing sunglasses masks one's identity
My eyes will tell the tale.
The eyes still hold the truth
I take it back down when we were young
Let's reminisce about the past
Your dad (indecipherable)
Unintelligible lyrics
Taking all the fun
Removing all the enjoyment
Can I have it back please?
Can we go back to those fun times?
Oh who loves the sun?
Who doesn't love the sun?
Well not everyone.
Some people don't like the sun
It pops its head up around the bend
The sun rises
And shakes your confidence.
It can be daunting
Well we’ll work on that:
We'll figure it out
Something for the drinkers,
Drinks for those who want them
Something for the smokers,
Cigarettes for those who smoke
Something for the girls in the late night boker.
Something for women who hang out late at night
My red eye keeps me up.
I can't sleep because of my red eyes
Shorts and a chat now start me up
Having a casual conversation is all I need
I met a girl from the wrong side of the bed
I met a girl who's not in a good mood
Kicks up a fuss and argues
She creates a scene and disagrees
More confusion if you've had a few
Things get more difficult when you're drunk
Can I have it back please?
Can we go back to those fun times?
I want it back please.
I really miss those times
[Chorus Twice]
Repeating the chorus twice
So what's a bright hot summer daze?
What does a scorching summer day feel like?
And if you want to hide away
If you want to get away from everything
With an umbrella
Using an umbrella to shield oneself
Keep your man darling
Hold on to your significant other
Keep your fella.
Hold on to your boyfriend
Keep my passion and trustworthy
Keeping my passion and being trustworthy
Trust him if you'll have to you
If you have to trust someone, choose him
Trust him with your money
Trusting someone with your finances
The city never sleeps
The city is always awake
And I'll earn my money
I'll work for my pay
To earn my keep
To survive
Love and seep right through the gaps
Love permeates through the smallest places
Take me somewhere off the map
Let's go somewhere out of the ordinary
Can I have it back please?
Can we go back to those fun times?
Can I have it back?
I really miss those times
