[Verse One]
Drinking underage the best days I ever spent
Would be drinking with my friends
Feeling we've got the bends
Sick so loud wake the neighbourhood up
And all we be doing is tripping up curbs
We probably had better things to do
But what's the point in chanting when we can drink booze
We saw blues
So many nights
Sitting under stars
Throwing rocks at cars
Hanging round the town scared stick to ourselves
We never stick to ourselves
Laughter and applause
We feel for the cause
Christmas time so shit but away with it
2010 too much time to lend
First time I ever discovered relationships more than friends
But I messed it up
And I fucked it up
Well never again

[Chorus]
Laughter and applause
As I fell onto the floor
Was it really against the law
To be
[x2]

[Verse Two]
Wondering what I should do now
Life turned shit turned away
Round two years gone from them days
College a disaster no one answered my prayers
Spinning round, drugs been found
Hanging round this nightmare town
Sitting outside the Odeon
With our bad clothes again
I take two steps back at how we've changed
And I look at myself but only time's to blame

[Chorus]
Laughter and applause
As I fell onto the floor
Was it really against the law
To be
[x2]

(5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO!)

[Bridge]
Friends with the blacked out cars
Not yet been put behind bars
You can tell when they yell
That they're doing very well
Until a dealer above gives him a bell
[x3]

(You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!)

[Chorus]
Laughter and applause
As I fell onto the floor
Was it really against the law
To be
[x2]

[Chorus]
Laughter and applause
As I fell onto the floor
Was it really against the law
To be
[x2]
