"So Far (It's Alright)" lyrics - THE 1975

Yeah so far it's alright baby

Yeah it's the way we are
We were smoking by 11 and knocking round town
Beat 'em up, son, my arm
We were never good at selling, couldn't cut down

And I'll stay with my farther while his friends die of heart attacks
He's got a heart made of stone but he never gets cold 'cause the sun's always on his back

I used to think you were cool and I believed you had a wonderful vision
But I soon found out you're a terrible friend and your mother's on the television

Gizago on your bike
How you getting on with your life?
It's alright
Yeah it's alright

Yeah so far it's alright baby

'Well I'm coming to the end of 23,' she said, 'Is that alright?'
'And it's coming to the end of you and me,' she said, 'Is that alright?'
'And how can you complain about life and talk about being bored?'
'If you just sit at Pete's house playing video games, doing sniff that you can't afford?'

I can't be picking up in the town
So get me one off Adam if he's sorting you out
I don't really care what all your friends are about
I was always looking for a way to get out
That's a reflection in the size of your house
A silver spoon and zut in your mouth

But you're alright
Yeah it's alright

Yeah so far it's alright baby

So here we are, it's quarter to 11, we're knocking round town
Pushing in at the bar, you can cry until 11, it's quarter of an hour
And why stay if you hate it so much?
You think you're well cool
You just write about sex and killing yourself and how you hardly ever went to school

Why don't you want to take me up in the clouds?
Pretend that I'm the one and you can show me about
She was talking marriage, so we had to get out
Now he's making up for it by sleeping about
Your ultimatum's a ridiculous joke
I'm gonna pick the option that allows me to smoke

But I'm alright
Yeah it's alright

Yeah so far it's alright baby
