[Intro: Kyle Falconer]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
He said he does so I believe him
He said he won't
Kyle won't deny his desperate brother
He's asked his mother
She won't believe him
He said we're going so I followed him
He said we're leaving to fulfil this addiction lady
He claims his crazy, should I believe him?
[Verse 2: Kyle Falconer]
We're jumping tubes and chasing papers
Bumped into chancers stealing minutes from me and the midnight ravers
They've done no favours
So I'll believe him
Your wrinkles document the age of your eyes
Her words they bring us even closer to her lies
[Verse 3: Kyle Falconer & Kyle's Ex-Girlfriend]
He's having rants and pulling faces (pulling faces)
He's picking fights with different races (different races)
But still not me so I'll still believe him (believe him)
The train has stopped we're at the station (the station)
The sweat is pouring, but not from me
You see my minds been snoring
I find it boring
I believe him (believe him)
The lady elder said that the water was fine
But she never thought to mention we were partners in her crime
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer & Kyle's Ex-Girlfriend]
Please, give back the sun
Cause it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel
[Verse 3: Kyle Falconer & Kyle's Ex-Girlfriend]
We've entered in naive Dundee boys (Dundee boys)
No one is in no one but you boys
We're not charging, no forceful bargains
So we believed her (believed her)
The kettle burns with no distinction (distinction)
The pimp was raging
The lad was pacing in the basin the fears injected into me
Cause I believed him
[Pre-Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
Intimidation isn't meant for the young
Your plan was buggered up and 'ken we never sang the songs you sung
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer & Kyle's Ex-Girlfriend]
So please give back the sun
Cause it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel
[Verse 4: Kyle Falconer]
I hope you never escape from me now
Because sincerity is sleeved out in this song
I hope your family don't look down on me now
I hope you never think of me wrong
Because the pretty little vibe, we had going on it takes a chunk out of me but all the
You can't dwell upon the over-understatement of the R.M.C
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer & Kyle's Ex-Girlfriend]
So please give back the sun
Cause it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel
So please give back the sun
Cause it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel
So please give back the sun
Cause it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that anti-classic cindered rank hostel
[Outro: Kyle Falconer & Kyle's Ex-Girlfriend]
And it made her conscious to me

Lead singer Kyle Falconer opened up regarding the meaning of the song:
It’s about me and my mate Ryan Macphail going to a brothel that we never knew was a brothel and we got chased out. That was a scary situation. We were going about London, genuinely looking for Jacuzzis. You know when you go to J...
