Hostels and Brothels Lyrics by The Wonder Years

The Upsides/Suburbia 10 Year Anniversary Box Set

2010

[Verse 1]
So you found me on the floor
I'm split open at the seams
The lights of Birmingham are wet
And blur in front of me
Today we woke up at 1
But it gets dark here at 3
It's getting hard to believe in anything
[Verse 2]
Today I called up my dad
Said "I'm off balance and weak"
I'm feeling homesick for things I know don't think of me
He said "It's gonna get lighter, son, just wait there and see"
It's getting hard to believe
[Verse 3]
Last night in Leeds
Ad and I found ourselves wandering the city
Looking for pizza
All we found was complacency and somewhere to sleep
I'm still waiting for the map to say home's a week away
[Verse 4]
The boys are drowning in Strongbow
I'm amazed they can breathe
Weeble's just got caught stealing a Christmas tree
We drove all the way to Glasgow just watch our defeat
The venue flooded
Guess the band last night was too heavy
[Verse 5]
Last night in Leeds
Joe was talking to some bar maid
Trying to get lucky
I think it almost worked until he ran into Bobby
That kid pulled the cock-block of the century
[Chorus]
I'm still waiting for the map to say home's a week away
Unless Grey Britain comes to me and says
"It's not so bad if you don't look at it that way"
[Verse 6]
Last night in Leeds
The world collapsed all around me
Along with a shelf in the basement of Liv's house
By two or three, I thought we'd lost Josh and Mikey
They were skyhooking cans they hadn't emptied out
[Verse 7]
Last night in Leeds
I know we woke all the neighbours
But I don't think anybody slept that night
Last night in Leeds
Things got a bit lighter
I guess my dad was right
[Chorus]
I'm still waiting for the map to say home's a week away
Unless Grey Britain comes to me and says
"It's not so bad if you don't look at it that way"
