Tuck Shop lyrics - Ben Lee

Head down hands in your pocket

In front of the class while you tremble in fear

All the facts you've forgotten

Wondering how did you find yourself here?

You were born beneath an open sky

First breath was breathing fire

It wasn't easy but you never told a lie

Do you remember? you were so clever

Wearing your favorite shirt to school

Under your sweater, popping your collar

Giving them clues that you were cool

Cold at the bus stop alone at the tuck shop

Wandering home day after day

We all learn to stand apart

In our own way

In our own way

Eyes down what are you thinking?

Your folks aren't around while we tremble in fear

We're gonna need some forgiving

Wondering how did we find ourselves here?

We were born before the stars aligned

Before the starting line

We had our problems but we never told a lie

Do you remember? warm in December

Taking your shirt off by the pool

Up by the tram line, after your bedtime

Praying to god they'll think you're cool

Cold on the rooftop, in line at the tuck shop

All of your secrets on display

We all learn to stand apart, in our own way

Do you remember? you were so clever

Wearing your favorite shirt to school

Under your sweater, popping your collar

Giving them clues that you were cool

Cold at the bus stop, alone at the tuck shop

Wandering home day after day

We all learn to stand apart

We all learn to stand apart

Do you remember? warm in December

Taking your shirt off by the pool

Up by the tram line, after your bedtime

Praying to god they'll think you're cool

Cold on the rooftop, in line at the tuck shop

All of your secrets on display

We all learn to stand apart

We all learn to stand apart

We all learn to stand apart

In our own way

In our own way

We all learn to stand apart

We all learn to stand apart

We all learn to stand apart

In our own way
