    Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under lyrics:
    I remember the sickness was forever
    I remember snuff videos
    Cold Septembers
    The distances we covered
    The fist fights on the beach
    The Bizzies round us up
    Do it all again next week
    Embryonic love
    The first time that it scarred
    Embarrass yourself for someone
    Crying like a child
    And the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
    Still bugs me now
    That’s the thing it lingers
    And claws you when you’re down
    I was far too scared to hit him
    But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
    That’s the thing with anger
    It begs to stick around
    So it can fleece you of your beauty
    And leave you spent with nowt to offer
    It makes you hurt the ones who love you
    You hurt them like they’re nothing
    See I spent my teens enraged
    Spiralling in silence
    And I armed myself with a grin
    Cause I was always a fuckin' joker
    Buried in their humour
    Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
    Locker room talkin' lads' lads
    Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
    A mirrored picture of my old man
    Oh God the kid’s a dab hand
    Canny chanter, but he looks sad
    God, the kid looks so sad
    She said the debt, the debt, the debt
    So I thought about shifting gear
    And how she wept and wept and wept
    Luck came and died round here
    I see my mother
    The DWP see a number
    She cries on the floor encumbered
    I’m seventeen going under
    I’m seventeen going under

    He's a breath of fresh air since he released Hypersonic Missiles. I'm looking forward to the new album so much. Let's hope he stays around for many years to come. Cheers from Melbourne.

    I was 13 when the first British Invasion hit The States, and Sam's voice in this interview brings back fond memories of The Who's Roger Daltrey talking to the press.

    Love hearing geet in interviews like. Geet is a geordie word that means absolutely nothing but means everything. We had a geet box at home(like a swear box) coz me mam hated the word. Sharp stopped saying it when I got no pocket money for 3 weeks in a row!!

    The line "Canny chanter, but he looks sad" just sounds like gibberish. And that's why I love Sam, this song, and everything!
