Kid From A Council House

Born into nothing at all
Not very far to fall
No connections
No one I could call
They'd take one look at me
I know how it'd be
No living in a fantasy for me

I'm not the kind they'd let into their club
They shoo me off in the direction of the pub
But look at me, I'm barely even welcome there
See 'em stare

I'm just a kid from a council house
But I can't relate to anyone around
Just a kid from a council house
With ideas they say are above my station
A kid from a council house
Am I cursed with all these dreams I can't realise?
Were they to open their eyes
Yeah, maybe they'd be surprised

I'm not ashamed of where I come from
I don't care
It's not the lack of money or the people there
But where am I gonna go?
It's about who you know
It doesn't matter if you're onto something, no

I've got a little, but it's not enough
I'm falling through the cracks and it's just tough
Resigned to nothing happening at all
'Cause I don't wanna beg and crawl

Just a kid from a council house
But I can't relate to anyone around
Just a kid from a council house
With ideas they say are above my station
A kid from a council house
Am I cursed with all these dreams I can't realise?
Were they to open their eyes
Yeah, maybe they'd be surprised

I'm just a kid from a council house
But I can't relate to anyone around
Just a kid from a council house
With ideas they say are above my station
A kid from a council house
Am I cursed with all these dreams I can't realise?
Were they to open their eyes
Yeah, maybe they'd be surprised
