Jamie T - Sign of the Times Lyrics

Post no bills, ill with chills, the pills, the cigarettes
No I won't kill, I will not defend a bloody rag
And where did all the friendships go?
Lost them all to suffragettes
And where did all the venues go?
Lost them all to businessmen
We all know, we're a sign of the times

But I wish I'd been a little more exceptional
And I wish I'd been a little unconventional
But I was not enough
No I'm not enough
No I'm not enough
I was never enough
No I'm not enough
No I'm not enough
No I'm not enough
I was never enough

"The next day everybody from miles around had heard about Sparky
The kids back home no longer laughed at him
In fact they all wanted to be his friend because he was so famous"
"I can play anything, anything at all and with no music"
"All right, I'm sitting on a piano stool
And my hands are on the keys
What do I do now?"

Simon says, everyone wants to know what's coming next
Feel like a kid, underwater tryna hold my breath
And everyday's another war, another life I could have lived
In every way I wanted more, wanted more than Laura did
We still know, she's a sign of the times

But I wish I'd been a little more exceptional
And I wish I'd been a little unconventional
But I was not enough
No I'm not enough
No I'm not enough
I was never enough
No I'm not enough
No I'm not enough
No I'm not enough
I was never enough
