Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes Lyrics - Geordie In Wonderland - Wildhearts

in the trials of my youth, on my way to being man 

there was caustic words of ill advice I'd never understand 

but their hometown dreams were shattered when ambition foiled their plans 

but you can't be the one who tries, they love to criticise, I know... or at least they'll try 

CHORUS: 

come on 

laughing is all that I can do, trying to keep from falling through 

nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes 

they all got advice to give 'cos they've got no life to live 

nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes 

nothing ever changes but the shoes 

in my one man crusade doing what I knew was right 

they would tempt me with the honest sweat of labour, love and life 

and they only find respect for you if you give up the fight 

but you can't be the one who tries, they'll cut you down to size, I know... or at least they'll try 

CHORUS 

I....want to be there when you say you're wrong 

I....want to be there when you crawl 

I....wouldn't piss on your opinion 

and if I stand on top of the world then maybe I'll find somebody I know, and if I don't...
