Calm Down Dearest Lyrics

[Verse 3]
I remember shooting shit down down the old alleyways
Talking tragedies of music, like old Holliday
I remember what we're doing then, I don't remember now
It's the past, it's the future
I don't know how to carry on through the rights and wrongs
And kick it like we know the songs
Already before we rock steady down and on the dancefloor
And I don't get no fights when I get angry drunk
I sit down in the corner and I sulk my fucking socks off

So who the fuck are we? Just the boys in the city
It's all been done before and we do it again, so
We'll see you later, you alligators
We'll be back, I'm sure, next week and sit in the bar, you know
So goodbye, bye, we'll try never to die, but

We are so young we don't understand if we canna fly
So we're here now, we will be gone soon
But not today, not tomorrow, not the next tune

[Chorus]
It's heavy, it's on my mind
'Cause you just say you feel just fine
It's racking and stacking them lines
I said, calm down dearest
It's heavy, it's on my mind
You say you feel just fine
Been racking and stacking your lines
I said, calm down dearest
It's heavy, it's on my mind
You say you feel just fine
Been racking and stacking your lines
I said, calm down dearest
It's heavy, it's on my mind
You say you feel just fine
Been racking and stacking your lines
I said, calm down dearest
[Outro]
Yeah! You're cool, twat
Fucking cunts doing wheelies on bikes, mate
I just wanna fucking run 'em over

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Calm Down Dearest is the 3rd track on Panic Prevention. The song describes a pretty standard night out with Jamie and his mates in London. There is no real underlying message other than the process cyclical for Jamie, and he will keep going out and doing the same stuff again and again until everyone he knows goes their separate ways.
