Going Places

lyrics

Well I’ve found a new direction on a bachelor’s degree
I’m living on a budget so there’s nothing in for tea
It’s pasta on its own again today
I spend my waking hours spending money I don’t have
I’m drinking in the high street but at least I’m not a chav
My debts are going up but it’s alright

‘Cause I’m going places
I’m going places
‘Cause I’m going places
I’m going places
I’ll be a credit to my field
And a gift to all the world
I’m a raw attractive talent
About to be unfurled
With a faith in my degree I’ll get through
They’ll tell me everything I need to do

I wake up from a coma and I’m cringing from the light
My stomach’s turning over all the drink I had last night
I cannot dare to glance the date today
My work is piled up in all the papers on the side
I’ll take the whole day off because I’m clearly not alright
Exams are coming up and it’s alright

‘Cause I’m going places
I’m going places
‘Cause I’m going places
I’m going places
I’ll be a credit to my field
And a gift to all the world
I’m a raw attractive talent
About to be unfurled
With a faith in my degree I’ll get through
They’ll tell me everything I’ll need to do

When I’m rich I’ll get a flash TV
I’ll roll up in Rolls Royce Limousines
No more discount food
Just the very best cuisine

‘Cause I’m going places
I’m going places
‘Cause I’m going places
I’m going places
I’ll be a credit to my field
And a gift to all the world
I’m a raw attractive talent
About to be unfurled
With a faith in my degree I’ll get through
They’ll tell me everything I’ll need to do

about

Chris Tavener Manchester, UK

Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A deft lyricist with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.

“”An interesting lad with an elastic turn of phrase” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“Nice set. Kinks-y vibes” – Carl Barat, The Libertines
