[Lyric] Psychedelic Shirt (Micko & the Mellotronics)

Went to a disco, I was 13 years old
In a disused scout hut, I was all on my own
I’d bought a new shirt, red, blue & green
Bought it down Leeds market subject to my means

Check out my psychedelic shirt
So out of time it hurts
If it’s not for you, not for you, it’s for me
Back in the day, young offenders leave me be

Gone from the cloakroom
Strung out on the toilet floor
Mopped up in the fluid
Screwed up in a ball

Walking in defiance
I left behind a stream
Those torrents of abuse
Defined you, as they define mе

Check out my psychedelic shirt
So out of timе it hurts
If it’s not for you, not for you, it’s for me
Back in the day, young offenders leave me be
You don’t have a future
From that moment I shape my own
I’m glad I’m not like them
Mulled it over on the way home

Even at a tender age
You get a sense of what things mean
Reaching out from the gutter
In search of star filled dreams

Check out my psychedelic shirt
So out of time it hurts
If it’s not for you, not for you, it’s for me
Back in the day, young offenders leave me be
