| Song | Lonely Daze |
| Artist | Kate Tempest |
| Album | Everybody Down |
| [00:19.61] | Pete is a young man |
| [00:20.86] | Heart full of rain |
| [00:22.02] | Eyes full of evenings |
| [00:23.27] | Spent in a dream |
| [00:24.52] | Grew up in a city where you master your pain |
| [00:26.85] | Or you end up numb, not feeling |
| [00:29.52] | Becky is a young woman |
| [00:30.77] | Heart full of earth |
| [00:32.02] | Eyes full of mornings |
| [00:33.17] | Spent without sleeping |
| [00:34.57] | Grew up in a city where it’s hard to be heard |
| [00:36.78] | And nothing really has much meaning |
| [00:39.54] | Pete had his heart broke once |
| [00:41.22] | He never fixed it |
| [00:41.94] | Sits there in his chest |
| [00:43.03] | With his arms crossed, screwing |
| [00:44.24] | Becky had her heart broke twice |
| [00:46.36] | She won’t risk it again |
| [00:47.12] | She don’t wanna see her heart get ruined |
| [00:49.34] | And now she’s on her way |
| [00:50.48] | To wash up and take the orders |
| [00:51.83] | For spaghetti |
| [00:52.59] | At Giuseppe’s |
| [00:53.13] | The café on the corner |
| [00:54.33] | She did the night shift too |
| [00:55.14] | A masseuse at the sauna |
| [00:56.72] | She’s putting herself through uni |
| [00:58.36] | It’s hard work |
| [01:00.20] | But will it be this way forever? |
| [01:02.75] | These are lonely days |
| [01:04.85] | What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [01:07.21] | He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [01:10.11] | But will it be this way forever? |
| [01:12.29] | These are stressful times |
| [01:14.47] | What if he could be the one that gets her? |
| [01:17.00] | She looks away, she’s petrified |
| [01:19.59] | ‘Now, have you thought about retail?’ |
| [01:20.56] | ‘Yes, fine with me’ |
| [01:21.62] | ‘Oh and I can see here that you have a degree’ |
| [01:24.02] | ‘Yes,’ says Pete, ‘in International Relations.’ |
| [01:25.86] | ‘Great |
| [01:27.20] | Let’s see if Primark has space for a placement.’ |
| [01:29.15] | Becky clears up from the lunch rush Crushed |
| [01:31.81] | By the blank eyes |
| [01:33.14] | Impolite customers thrusting |
| [01:34.12] | Their damp fives |
| [01:35.13] | Into her palms, she thinks |
| [01:36.41] | 'There ain’t no harm in being civil though, Is there?' |
| [01:39.29] | He folds up his job form |
| [01:40.52] | Gets up from his chair |
| [01:41.61] | The next person sits down with a similar air |
| [01:44.06] | Of dejection |
| [01:45.06] | He walks out, heads in the direction |
| [01:46.52] | Of the café on the corner |
| [01:47.66] | For a coffee and some headroom |
| [01:48.90] | This guy comes in |
| [01:50.15] | The first customer to close the door behind him For that alone she likes him |
| [01:53.46] | He sits at the table by the window |
| [01:55.04] | Reading, half smiling |
| [01:56.38] | His hair’s messy and his eyes are shining |
| [01:58.58] | Can’t think what to say, he just stares blankly |
| [02:01.12] | Picks up his change, fiddles with his spoon |
| [02:03.58] | And as he leaves the café he’s consumed |
| [02:05.81] | With thoughts of her |
| [02:06.76] | Wishing that he’d got up the guts |
| [02:07.81] | To try and talk to her |
| [02:09.91] | Will it be this way forever? |
| [02:12.01] | These are lonely days |
| [02:14.42] | What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [02:16.55] | He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [02:19.63] | And will it be this way forever? |
| [02:22.20] | These are stressful times |
| [02:23.84] | What if he could be the one that gets her? |
| [02:26.26] | She looks away, she’s petrified |
| [02:29.01] | It’s Becky’s mate’s birthday |
| [02:29.99] | They’re out for the night |
| [02:31.06] | Now, Becky’s mate is the nightmare type |
| [02:32.75] | She’d flirt with anyone |
| [02:33.78] | Scream at the top of her voice |
| [02:35.24] | But it’s her birthday so Becky |
| [02:37.39] | Don’t really have a choice |
| [02:38.70] | He sees her in the queue |
| [02:39.87] | He doesn’t know what to do |
| [02:40.85] | She’s more beautiful than he remembers |
| [02:42.81] | Then she says |
| [02:43.74] | ‘Alright?’ |
| [02:44.51] | And he tries to say something funny |
| [02:45.87] | But stutters |
| [02:46.68] | And now he feels like a muppet and blushes (No, No, No) |
| [02:48.92] | Inside it’s the usual scene |
| [02:49.86] | They’re dancing at the bar, waiting to get served |
| [02:52.82] | Becky’s mate’s screaming about something absurd |
| [02:55.22] | And they’re all fake laughing |
| [02:56.79] | Even though nobody heard a word |
| [02:58.53] | So now he’s hunting around the room |
| [02:59.70] | Staring into every booth |
| [03:00.62] | The back of every head could be hers |
| [03:02.74] | It’s no use |
| [03:03.45] | He stops by the bar, thinking |
| [03:04.76] | 'Man, I’ll never find her' |
| [03:05.68] | And then he realises that he’s standing beside her |
| [03:08.12] | He stands there awkward |
| [03:10.49] | His eyes are as loud as the bass |
| [03:11.12] | And she can recognise something in his face |
| [03:13.30] | She scribbles down her number |
| [03:14.76] | Lingering glance |
| [03:15.72] | And lets herself think |
| [03:17.11] | Maybe this could be her chance |
| [03:18.34] | Will it be this way forever? |
| [03:21.49] | These are lonely days |
| [03:23.88] | What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [03:26.17] | He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [03:28.83] | And will it be this way forever? |
| [03:31.36] | These are stressful times |
| [03:33.51] | What if he could be the one that gets her? |
| [03:35.82] | She looks away, she’s petrified |
| [03:38.34] | Will it be this way forever? |
| [03:40.29] | These are lonely days |
| [03:43.38] | What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [03:45.67] | He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [03:48.73] | And will it be this way forever? |
| [03:51.06] | These are stressful times |
| [03:53.51] | What if he could be the one that gets her? |
