We're all Jack The Lads with bad habits
Backing Jack, stacking fag packets
In our jackets
Drinks come in pints
And the drugs come in packets
Spilling cheap liquor on our Reebok classics
Giving boys that we don't like lip
In a four-seater car
But we've squeezed in six
Eric's in the back seat rolling a spliff
If we get pulled over
Then we're all getting nicked, but
The blue light's just drove straight past us
Turn up the tunes and move the car faster
Praying inside
But we're all gonna laugh 'cause
None of us will ever learn
Everybody is a back seat preacher
P's and Q's plays through a blown-out speaker
Sipping on a bottle of the cheapest tequila
Can you take the next turn?
We're all Jack The Lads, we're all reckless
Couldn't care less if the olders respect us
Didn't have a motive til these girls just text us
Now we're backing shots
And sparking cigarettes up
Giving boys that we don't like grief
Six people in a car that has got four seats
Whoever's got the aux better pass it to me
In a car full of smoke
And we've just seen the police, but
The blue light's just drove straight past us
Turn up the tunes and move the car faster
Praying inside
But we're all gonna laugh 'cause
None of us will ever learn
Everybody is a back seat preacher
P's and Q's plays through
A blown-out speaker
Sipping on a bottle of the cheapest tequila
Oh shit, the police have returned
Oh well, oh well
Just another story to tell
Just another story to tell
When the morning comes
Oh well, oh well
Just another story to tell
Just another story to tell in the morning
Now my mate
That's driving starts moving shifty
I said, "Slow the fuck down, bruv
You're doing 90 in a 50
So what if they wanna pull us over?
You haven't had a smoke
And you're stone cold sober"
He said, "Mate, shut the fuck up!
Are you dumb, boss?
Look inside my glovebox
This is where the fun stops"
I look inside, I can't believe it, really
I'm shocked
Tell me why the fuck
You got this, fella, I'm lost
He said, "Will you just stop
Talking for a second?!"
I'm staring at a lot of narcotics and a weapon
"Left or right, boys?
Please tell me what you reckon
The jakes are getting closer
And I don't know where I'm heading"
I said, "Bruv, please talk"
"I dunno where to start, fam
How d'you think
I went and bought a car, and
How d'you think I went
And bought a yard? Look
I wanted to be top boy
Wanted to be hard man!"
I said, "None of us have ever been about that
So why'd you think doing
This would get you extra clout?"
He said, "Shut the fuck up in the back
You're too loud
And I don't need a lecture from you
Not right now!"
Now my boy's driving manic
Swinging left and right
Doing 85, but the police are out of sight
He pulls over, our hearts are heavy and now
He turns round and says
"What were you worried about?"
Oh well, oh well
Just another story to tell
Just another story to tell
When the morning comes
Oh well, oh well
Just another story to tell
Just another story to tell in the morning
