[Verse 1]
In a commissioned town, on Lump Street
The brick-hard boy repeats a scripted lie
Eyes to the ground on Lump Street
There's a broken jaw behind the dog-tooth smile
[Verse 2]
The grunt and moan behind the night here
And though breath is warm, sex is cold
Nothing is grown on Lump Street
Each piece is fired inside a broken mould
[Chorus]
Do you want more unshapely love?

No locks on the doors, no corner to hide in
Scars like armour, dead boy's eyes, ah ah ah
She's a Lump Street girl, with a blade in her brow
Raised by the state but they tore it all down, ah ah ah
They fucked and they fought but it still felt right
Run away from these orange Lump Street lights, ah ah ah
[Outro]
Get together now, find hope
There is a life beyond the one you already know
Get together now, build a home
There is life beyond the one you already know

In the studio, it was almost like some kids had been let off the leash. Aaron instructed Grant, Billy and I...
