Seen It All Lyrics
Jake Bugg
Lyrics
One Friday night I took a pill or maybe two
Down at the car park I saw everyone I knew
And before the night was started we had planned to crash a party
Just a place that someone knew
A local house belonging to a gangster's crew
And at the door they shone a light into my face
Have to admit I felt a little out of place
But I made my way inside past a thousand crazy eyes
Then a friend took me aside said everyone here has a knife
I've seen it all, I've seen it all now
I swear to God I've seen it all
Nothing shocks me any more after tonight
Those little doves had sent my mind and heart a-beating
To say I felt weird really doesn't need repeating
I could sense the mounting tension the atmosphere of violence
And then they took a guy out side
And someone stabbed him with a knife
I've seen it all, I've seen it all now
I swear to god I've seen it all
Nothing shocks me any more after tonight
I've seen it all, I've seen it all now
I've seen it all, I've seen it all now
I swear to god I've seen it all
Nothing shocks me any more after tonight I've seen the light
But not the kind I would've liked
