The half back-flip conception, a state hospital birth
The most threadbare tall story the country's ever heard
Brought home to breathe smoke in arms of her mother with a blunt kitchen knife
Who just lays in a submissive position
beneath the national weight and the slow arc of a fist
Her heart beats like a breeze block thrown down the stairs
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave she was, born into a grave
And in the limp three years of board schooling
she's accustomed to hearing that she could never run far
A slipped disc in the spine of community,
a bloody curse word made pedestrian verse
Spirits in graveyards and fingers in car parks
She cries in the high street just to be heard
A screaming anchor for nothing in particular
at the foot of the fuck of it, and dragging her heels in the dirt
Her heart beats like a breeze block thrown down the stairs
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave she was, born into a grave
The cheek of youth flushed red and turned gray
Now she lies on the pavement, she's helped to her feet,
all thighs, hair, and magpie handbags
Saturday's uniform for the fuck me parade
Brought home to keep warm in the arms of a plumber ruddy and balding
Who just needs a spine to dig into, a chest for the head, and a hand for the holding
Her heart beats like a breeze block thrown down the stairs
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave she was, she was
Her heart beats like a breeze block thrown down the stairs
Her skin is thicker than concrete forced to be brave she was, she was
A broken elevator anthem held between floors
But if blood is thicker than concrete, all of it is not lost
All is not lost
All is not lost
All is not lost
All is not lost
Frightened Rabbit is a Scottish indie rock band formed in 2003 by Scott Hutchison (vocals, guitar), Billy Kennedy (guitar) and Grant Hutchison (drums). Initially a solo project by Scott, the name Frightened Rabbit comes from the title of a song written during his university studies. The early recordings were demos made with a Tascam 4-track recorder, characterized by a lo-fi sound but already rich in talent and personality. Over the years, the lineup has solidified into a trio and the sound has matured with a more pop approach, while maintaining the emotional intensity typical of indie rock. Among the representative tracks: "The Modern Leper", "Swim Until You Can't See Land" and "My Backwards Walk". The debut album, "Sing the Greener Grass", dates back to 2006, followed by other critically acclaimed works such as "Midnight Organ Fight" (2008) and "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" (2010). The band has collaborated with artists like The National and Belle and Sebastian. In 2016, frontman Scott Hutchison tragically disappeared, leaving a void in the indie music scene.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
