Will Adam’s Severed Head on the Bar as a Warning to Others Lyrics by Yr Poetry

Ruin Music

2022

[Verse]
Came here on my eighteenth
But really I’d been coming here for weeks
I was too pleased to get Id’d; pulled out my passport, got called an asshole, but I still got my free drink
Saved £1.50 on some shotglass promo mix, some syrup shit, man, those were different times
They say you never forget yr first pint
Well mine was a vodka and lime and I don’t remember the rest of the night
Got told I puked on the staircase, but I have thrown up in every corner of that place
Fell in love at every other table
Found kinships, formed friendships, fought hardships
What I’m saying is; I am not impartial
Let’s talk about the bands; from the nineties till now
Maybe you can name three of three thousand but each one of those fuckers owes this place a debt
I’m too scattered for the scene now, but I still hear it when I’m down
That full room sound, you don’t forget
I’d rather have a drink than a memory
I’d rather not fight to have community
I’d rather not namecheck an enemy, but I wrote those letters like what I said mattered and he was two steps ahead
Will Adams playing chess
White Horse moves two and left, and every letter back read just like press
You are released from yr culture
You have succumbed to nostalgia
This scene moves with or without ya…
And proceeds to name ten alternative venues, seven of which had closed in the year since that list was made
As if to prove on demand, you can’t damn the man with kids in bands
[Chorus]
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and everything we built before will disappear
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
Build smaller flats, big council tax, they’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
[Verse]
Staged a wake with a year’s extension, but dead men don’t care what you think of them
Ghost ships don’t give no shits, give yr bookings to a predator and pipe dream that Editors will save the day with a benefit gig
That’s the year my girlfriend quit
Said “them banners came out too quick, yeh this was neat but I have to move on"
You can’t Damn the Man, but you can Save the Empire
You can’t Damn the Man, but you can Save the Empire
[Chorus]
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and everything we built before will disappear
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and build smaller flats, big council tax
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and they'll be left for more than we can ever afford
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and everything we built before will disappear
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and build smaller flats, big council tax
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and they'll be left for more than we can afford
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and everything we built before will disappear
They’ll build apartments here and we will be gone
They’ll build apartments here, they’ll build apartments here, and build smaller flats, big council tax
They’ll build apartments here and we will be done
