1975, The - So Far (It's Alright) Lyrics






Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.

Yeah it's the way we are
We were smoking by 11 and knocking 'round town
Beat 'em ups on my arm
We were never good at selling
Couldn't cut down

And I stay with my father, while his friends die of heart attacks
He's got a heart made of stone but he never gets cold because the sun's always on his back

I used to think you were cool and I believed you had a wonderful vision,
But I soon found out you're a terrible friend and your mother's on the television
Give's a go on your bike, how you getting along with your life
It's alright, yeah it's alright

Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby

"Oh well I'm coming to the end of 23" she said, "is that alright?"
"And it's coming to the end of you and me" she said, "is that alright?"
And how can you complain about life and talk about being bored
If you just sit at Pete's house playing video games, doing sniff that you can't afford?

I can't be picking up in the town
So get me one off Adam if he's sorting you out
I don't really care what all your friends are about,
I was always looking for a way to get out,
A true reflection of the size of your house,
A silver spoon and a zoot in your mouth
But you're alright, yeah it's alright

Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright.

So here we are, it's quarter to 11
We're knocking 'round town
Pushing in, in the bar, you can cry until 11, it's a quarter of an hour
And why stay if you hate it so much?
You think you're well cool,
You just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever went to school

Don't you wanna take me up in the clouds,
Pretend that I'm the one and you can show me about,
She was talking marriage so we had to get out,
Now he's making up for it by sleeping about

The ultimatum's a ridiculous joke
I'm gonna pick the option that allows me to smoke
But I'm alright, yeah it's alright

Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby
Yeah so far, it's alright, alright, baby

    This song would be so much better by simply bringing down the piano or whatever it is it’s so much louder than any other instrument including the voice simply making it a little lighter would make the whole song calmer and smoother more “we were smokin by 11 n knockin round town”

    And I stay with my father while his friends die of heart attacks
    He's got a heart made of stone but he never gets cold 'cause the sun is always on his back
    I used to think you were cool
    I believed you had a wonderful vision
    but I soon found out you're a terrible friend

    And how can you complain about life and talk about being bored
    If you just sit at Pete's house playing video games
    Doing sniff that you can't afford
    I can't be picking up in the town
    So get me one off Adam if he's sorting you
    I don't really care what all your friends are about
    I was always looking for a way to get out
    It's the reflection of the size of your house
    A silver spoon and a zoot in your mouth
    But your alright, yeah it's alright
    Yeah so far it's alright, alright baby x4
    So here we are
    It's quarter to 11
    We're knocking 'round town
    A pushing in, in the bar
    You can cry 'til 11
    That's quarter of an hour
    And why stay if you hate it so much?
    You think you're well cool
    You just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever went to school
    Don't you wanna take me up in the clouds?
    Pretend that I'm the one and you can show me about
    She was talking marriage
    So we had to get out
    Now he's making up for it by sleeping about
    The ultimatums a ridiculous joke
