Gran’s for Tea Lyrics by The View

Hats Off to the Buskers

2007

[Verse 1: Kieren Webster]
Mile long queue in the chippy
I wish I was at my Gran's for tea
These people call me their friends but they don't think the same as me

[Chorus: Kieren Webster, Kieren Webster with Kyle Falconer & Kyle Falconer]
Now you're fed up chasing your tail 'round this housing scheme
Drinkin' your drink now
And staying up
Too early in the morning
Aw (Aw)

[Verse 2: Kieren Webster & The View]
Wander through the streets of Dundee (Dundee)
Mum said you shouldn't walk them alone
A fight's a fight and that's quite alright
Aye but, please, leave the tools at home

[Chorus: Kieren Webster, Kieren Webster with Kyle Falconer & Kyle Falconer]
Now you're fed up chasing your tail 'round this housing scheme
Drinkin' your drink now
And staying up
Too early in the morning
Aw, aw
(Fucking shut it up)

[Verse 3: Kyle Falconer & Kieren Webster]
You lower standards and expectations of love
You never aim for people that you sit levels above
You're always chasing the same skirts
(Same skirts, same skirts 'round)
'Round the local pub
Where were you when I needed you?
Up the posh end of town
You're supposed to protect and serve
You're out for a perve, just driving around

[Chorus: Kieren Webster & Kieren Webster with Kyle Falconer]
Now you're fed up chasing your tail 'round this housing scheme
Drinkin' your drink now
And staying up
Too early in the morning
Staying up
Too early in the morning
Aw, aw

[Outro: Kieren Webster with Kyle Falconer]
Mile long queue at the chippy
I wish I was at my Gran's for tea
These people call me their friend, but they don't think the same as me
