lyrics

Listen
I’m authentic mate
Just you look
What you grinning at?
Face to face
This ain’t no imitation
That’s it right there
ha ha

The first draft of the portrait
Was doomed to peel
Face to face with the new folk
Concrete grins formed in unison

Listen
I’m authentic mate
The first draft
This ain’t no imitation
Of the portrait
The first draft
What you grinning at?
The first draft
Are you grinning at me?
The first draft
I can see it in your eyes mate
The first draft
Of the portrait
The first draft
I’m really just a nice guy
Was doomed to peel

Don’t I know you from somewhere?
I’m sure I do
Yeah, you’re the one
I recognise you
I’m one of the nice guys

Face to face
Me and you
Doomed to peel
There’s a right way of going about it
And there’s a wrong way of going about it
Don’t you give me that fucking look mate
I know exactly what you’re up to
Don’t diss me bruva

The first draft of the portrait
Was doomed to peel
Face to face with the new folk
Concrete grins formed in unison

You fucking numpty
You fucking bastard
Ha ha
Yeah that’s the one
That’s it right there
Ha ha
You can trust me
