Empty Cans
The Streets Lyrics

If I want to sit in and drink super tenants in the day I will
I have the freedom to stay at home and enjoy my own company without anyone dictating what I should do.

No one's going to fucking tell me jack
I refuse to let anyone control or manipulate me.

But can you rely on anyone in this world?
Is there anyone trustworthy and dependable in this world?

No, you can't
No, it seems impossible to find someone you can truly rely on.

It's not my fault there's wall-to-wall empty cans
The presence of so many empty cans is not my fault.

Everyone wanted this to all go wrong for me from the start
From the beginning, it seems like everyone was hoping for my downfall.

It's fucked up that a man's life can just be attacked
It's unfair and messed up how easily a person's life can be negatively impacted or sabotaged.

Watching this morning with a beer
I find solace and comfort in indulging myself with a beer while observing my surroundings.

Is much better than relying on
I prefer the solitude and self-reliance rather than depending on

Unknown cunts for mates I was given
I would rather not rely on unfamiliar and untrustworthy individuals who were assigned as my friends.

That don't have my back
These individuals cannot be relied upon to support me or have my best interests at heart.

Scott texted me to say he'd have a look at the TV for me
Scott sent me a message offering to inspect and fix my TV.

But I laid it down telling him to fuck right off chap
However, I strongly rejected his offer and told him to leave immediately.

Phoned this company out the yellow pages
I contacted a company listed in the yellow pages.

Told them to take away the TV and fix it quick snap
I instructed them to pick up the TV and repair it promptly.

The next day they took away the TV
The following day, the company collected the TV.

Told me they would repair the little bit
They assured me that they would fix the minor issue

That's broken round on the back
located at the back of the TV.

I thought that would be that but the next bit was on top
I assumed that would be the end of the situation, but things escalated further.

This was where it all started to get a bit out of hand
At this point, the situation began to spiral out of control.

No one gives a crap about Mike
Nobody cares about me or shows any concern for my well-being.

That's why I'm acting nasty
My rude behavior stems from the lack of care or attention I receive from others.

You know what you can do with your life
I have a dismissive attitude towards other people's opinions or judgments about my life.

Introduce it up your jacksie
They can shove their thoughts and advice up their backsides.

The TV man comes back later, knocks on mine
The TV repairman returns to my place and knocks on my door.

To say he's found something in the back of the TV
He informs me that he discovered something inside the TV.

I'm looking at it absolutely speechless, can't quite believe
I am speechless and in disbelief as I examine the object he found.

He's trying to pull this fucking stunt on me
He is attempting to deceive or manipulate me with this trick.

I knew it was a simple case of the power supply gone on the back
I was aware that the issue was just a simple power supply problem at the back of the TV.

But he's trying to tap me up for more money
However, he is attempting to extort additional money from me.

He says it's not like that and I'm like 'Fuck off and die!'
I angrily respond by telling him to leave and not bother me anymore.

And stick up my two fingers and one more to make three
I raise my middle and index fingers in an offensive gesture, adding a third finger for emphasis.

He says 'Don't talk to me like that', and I don't understand
He reprimands me for my behavior, but I fail to comprehend his reaction.

My face is in his face, I tell him I understand perfectly
I confront him directly, insisting that I comprehend the situation perfectly.

And he grabs my shirt and I grab his face with my hand
A physical altercation ensues, as he grabs my shirt, and I retaliate by gripping his face.

So he brings his fist up and twats me a good one on my cheek
He punches me in the face, delivering a strong blow to my cheek.

Now I'm trying to pull his head down so I can knee it
In order to defend myself, I attempt to bring his head down to my knee level.

But he's got my ear
However, he manages to grab hold of my ear, restricting my movements.

He's twisting it round so much that it's
He twists my ear with such force that it becomes

Really hurting me
Excruciatingly painful for me.

And we both go down on the floor, and he pushes my head back
We both end up on the floor, and he forcefully pushes my head back.

Onto the corner of the fridge which is, total agony
As a result, my head collides with the corner of the fridge, causing immense pain.

Then he gets up and runs out the kitchen, and out of the door
Afterward, he quickly leaves the kitchen and exits through the door.

Shouting stuff to me, slams his door, shouting at me
In his departure, he shouts and insults me, slamming his own door.

So here I am in my house, drinking on my own settee
Now I find myself alone at home, sitting on my couch and drinking.

Everyone's a cunt in this life, no one's there for me
In this life, it seems that everyone is unpleasant and nobody is there to support or care for me.

About two this afternoon the last of the people left my house
At around two in the afternoon, the remaining individuals finally departed from my home.

'Cause they never stop chatting 'til all the rackets gone
They only leave once they've finished all their conversations and noise-making.

I really feel like things clicked into place at some point
At a certain moment, I experienced a realization or understanding that brought clarity to my situation.

Or maybe it's the fact that me and Alison really got on
Alternatively, it could be because Alison and I truly connected or had a positive interaction.

Or maybe it's that I realized that it is true
Perhaps it's because I came to understand the truth of the matter.

No one's really there fighting for you in the last garrison
In the end, there is no one who will truly fight or advocate for you, except yourself.

No one except yourself that is
The only person you can truly rely on is yourself.

No one except you
You are the only one who can truly have your own back.

You are the one who's got your back 'til the last deeds done
Until the very end, you are the one responsible for looking out for yourself.

Scott can't have my back 'til the absolute end
Scott is unable to fully support me until the very end.

'Cause he's got to look out for what over his horizon
He has his own concerns and responsibilities to prioritize.

He's gotta make sure he's not lonely, not broke
He needs to ensure that he avoids loneliness and financial instability.

It's enough to worry about keeping his own head above
He already has enough worries trying to maintain his own well-being.

I shut the door behind me, huddled up in my coat
As I leave, I close the door and wrap myself tightly in my coat.

Condensation floating off my breath, squinted out the sun
As I exhale, condensation from my breath hangs in the air, and I squint my eyes against the sunlight.

My jeans feel a bit tight, think I washed them too high
I notice that my jeans feel slightly uncomfortable, possibly because I washed them at too high a temperature.

I was gonna be late, so I picked up my pace to run
Realizing I was running behind schedule, I hasten my speed to avoid being late.

The end of the something I did not want to end
The conclusion of something that I did not desire to come to an end.

Beginning of hard times to come
This marks the start of challenging and difficult times that lie ahead.

But something that was not meant to be is done
An unfortunate situation or relationship that was not meant to be has now concluded.

And this is the start of what was
Thus, this is the beginning of a new phase or chapter in my life.

He had to unscrew about fifteen screws
He needed to remove approximately fifteen screws.

Before he could pull the panel off the back
In order to access the inner components, he had to remove the back panel of the TV.

To get in the fecking thing
To gain access to the damn thing.

But just as he did so, he said he saw something
However, as he proceeded, he noticed something.

That slipped inside behind the panel
Something that had slid in and become lodged behind the panel.

Down the back of it
Located at the back of the TV.

Must have been some leaflets or a bill maybe
It could have been leaflets or perhaps a bill that had slipped in there.

I didn't want to lose the bill in case it was a final warning
I was concerned about misplacing the bill, as it might serve as a final warning for something important.

So we both tried to get the back off and work out
Together, we attempted to remove the back panel and figure out

If there was any more screws to get out
Whether there were any additional screws that needed to be removed.

Or if we left any in
Or if we accidentally overlooked any screws during the process.

And when he looked down the back of the TV his eyes just froze
Upon peering into the back of the TV, he became completely still and speechless in sheer astonishment.

Before he rammed his hand in, saying, 'No shit!'
He then forcefully inserted his hand and exclaimed, 'Unbelievable!'

He's looking at me absolutely speechless
His expression conveys complete shock, leaving him unable to utter a single word.

He can't quite believe what he's trying to pull, out the slip
He finds it difficult to comprehend the situation and what he has discovered behind the panel.

I get up wondering what he's smiling about
Curious about the reason for his smile, I rise from my seat.

He's shaking his head at this point with, the biggest of grins
By now, he is vigorously shaking his head while wearing a wide and satisfied grin.

I look down the back of the TV and that's where it was
I direct my gaze towards the back of the TV, and that's where it is located.

In all its glory?my thousand quid
To my surprise and relief, I see my missing one thousand pounds lying there in all its glory.

About two this afternoon the last of the people left my house
At around two in the afternoon, the final group of individuals departed from my residence.

'Cause they never stop chatting 'til all the rackets gone
They only cease their noisy conversations once all the noise has subsided.

I really feel like things clicked into place at some point
At a certain moment, everything seemed to fall into their proper places and make sense.

Or maybe it's the fact that me and Alison really got on
Perhaps it was due to the fact that Alison and I connected exceptionally well.

Or maybe it's that I realized that it is true
Alternatively, it could be that I came to the realization that it is indeed true.

No one's really there fighting for you in the last garrison
Ultimately, no one is truly there to fight for your cause in the final stronghold.

No one except yourself that is
Except for yourself, of course.

No one except you
You are the sole person who can truly support and fight for yourself.

You are the one who's got your back 'til the last deeds done
Until the completion of your final actions, you must rely on yourself for support.

Scott can't have my back 'til the absolute end
Scott is unable to fully support me until the very end.

'Cause he's got to look out for what over his horizon
Due to his own concerns and responsibilities, he must prioritize what lies ahead for him.

He's gotta make sure he's not lonely, not broke
His main focus is avoiding loneliness and financial instability.

It's enough to worry about keeping his own head above
He already has enough worries trying to keep himself afloat.

I shut the door behind me, huddled up in my coat
I close the door after me and wrap myself tightly in my coat.

Condensation floating off my breath, squinted out the sun
As I exhale, I notice condensation in the air, and I squint against the brightness of the sun.

My jeans feel a bit tight, think I washed them too high
I realize that my jeans feel slightly tight, likely because I washed them at too high a temperature.

I was gonna be late, so I picked up my pace to run
As I realize I am running behind schedule, I start to run faster to avoid being late.

The end of the something I did not want to end
The conclusion of something that I did not desire to come to an end.

Beginning of hard times to come
This marks the start of challenging and difficult times that lie ahead.

But something that was not meant to be is done
An unfortunate situation or relationship that was not meant to be has now concluded.

And this is the start of what was
Thus, this is the beginning of a new phase or chapter in my life.

'Cause no one gives a crap about Mike
Because nobody cares about me or shows any concern for my well-being.

That's why I'm acting nasty
That is the reason I am behaving rudely and aggressively.

You know what you can do with your life
I don't care about their opinions or judgment of my life.

Introduce it up your jacksie
They can stick their thoughts and advice where the sun doesn't shine.

The TV man comes back later, knocks on mine
The TV repairman returns to my place and knocks on my door.

To say he's found something in the back of the TV
He informs me that he discovered something inside the TV.

I'm looking at it absolutely speechless, can't quite believe
I am utterly shocked and unable to comprehend what I'm seeing.

He's trying to pull this fucking stunt on me
He is attempting to deceive or manipulate me with this trick.

I knew it was a simple case of the power supply gone on the back
I already knew that the issue was a simple power supply problem at the back of the TV.

But he's trying to tap me up for more money
However, he is attempting to extort additional money from me.

He says it's not like that and I'm like 'Fuck off and die!'
He insists that it's not what I think, and in response, I angrily tell him to leave and never return.

And stick up my two fingers and one more to make three
I raise my middle and index fingers in an offensive gesture, adding a third finger for emphasis.

He says 'Don't talk to me like that', and I don't understand
He reprimands me for my behavior, and I fail to grasp why he is upset.

My face is in his face, I tell him I understand perfectly
I confront him directly, asserting that I comprehend the situation perfectly.

A physical altercation ensues, as he grabs my shirt, and I retaliate by gripping his face.

He's twisting it round so much that it's
He twists my ear with such force that it is

Really hurting me
Causing me intense pain.

And we both go down on the floor, and he pushes my head back
Both of us end up on the floor, and he forcefully pushes my head backward.

Onto the corner of the fridge which is, total agony
As a result, my head collides with the corner of the fridge, causing intense agony.

Then he gets up and runs out the kitchen, and out of the door
Afterwards, he quickly gets up, leaves the kitchen, and exits through the door.

Is there anyone trustworthy and dependable in this world?

No, you can't
No, it seems impossible to find someone you can truly rely on.

It's all my fault there's wall-to-wall empty cans
The presence of so many empty cans is solely my responsibility and fault.

I sat in the kitchen all fucked off
Feeling frustrated and angry, I remained in the kitchen.

Imagining over and over what they're all doing behind my back
Repetitively envisioning and wondering about the deceitful actions and intentions of others behind my back.

Dodgy things going on, actions I regretted
I suspected suspicious activities and regretted certain actions.

Stain bottle with a pipe and tin foil on the mat
Seeing a stained bottle, a pipe, and tin foil on the floor.

Scott texted me to say he'd have a look at the TV for me
Scott sent me a message offering to inspect and fix my TV.

And I felt like just telling him to fuck right off chap
Initially, I had the urge to rudely dismiss him and reject his offer.

But what he said about wanting to do the right thing by both mates
However, his statement about trying to act in the best interest of both of us as friends struck a chord.

And then opting to stay out? It seemed to match
Despite that, he ultimately decided to not get involved, and it appeared consistent with his character.

But I told him he could make it up by fixing the TV
In an attempt to salvage the situation, I gave him the opportunity to make amends by repairing the TV.

He said that's the least he could do to square things flat
He agreed that fixing the TV was the minimum he could do to rectify our strained relationship.

I thought that would be that but then the next bit was mad
I believed that resolving the TV issue would bring an end to the situation, but things took a strange turn.

This is where everything started to all turn back
At this point, the situation took a completely different and unexpected turn.

[Chorus 2]

The end of the something I did not want to end
The conclusion of something that I did not desire to come to an end.

Beginning of hard times to come
This marks the start of challenging and difficult times that lie ahead.

But something that was not meant to be is done
An unfortunate situation or relationship that was not meant to be has now concluded.

And this is the start of what was
Thus, this is the beginning of a new phase or chapter in my life.
