Sam Fender - The Borders (Lyrics)

"Sam Fender has shared his final single before the release of his imminent debut album.

'The Borders' is a cut from his upcoming debut album ‘Hypersonic Missiles’, due 13th September via Polydor Records.

The track's blurb reads: "The Borders, Sam’s personal favourite on the record, is a chest-punching story that looks a little closer to home. At once deeply personal, traumatic even, Sam tells a story of two boys growing up together and then going their separate ways. Memories inferred but not directly addressed. It’s a storming tune with a powerful story, as so many of Sam’s songs are."" - Dork, September 02, 2019

♪ lyrics ♪
We were like brothers
Everybody said we looked the same
You're a little taller and broader and bolder
We were afraid of your mother
Hell, she used to hit you so hard
And your dad took off when you were a baby
And you still hate me for my dad stuck around

You pin me to the ground
Eight years old with a replica gun pushing in my skull
Saying you're gonna kill me if I tell
Never did and I never will
That house was living hell
Come on!

I remember my mother when she found a new man
And your mother thought she found a partner
A father for you, no wonder you can't stand me
I can't stand me too
I can't stand me too

Oh, your gone mother repaired the anger in me
Spoke to me like I was an adult
Didn't take sides and didn't turn me against my dad
Then she took those pills and now she's gone

See her in the night
In the corner of my eye
And I see her in the night

Heard you glassed a boy back in the borders
Some naughty family’s boys are after you
You pinned me to the wall and said my mother
Stole your inheritance from you, oh yeah?
We ain't got a penny between wu
Holding up this tin that we live in
You pinned me to the wall and smashed a bottle
Your eyes the door to hell and all within
Ha

Everybody got that one song, you can listen to over and over again. And at some point you wonder, if there will ever be another song, that you will love this much and you think, this can‘t happen again. And then, „the borders“ by Sam Fender came along...

I have so many thing that unsolved, why I should think about people that ask me to hurt them ?I rather ask them for help . If can't help by physical works, to have a beautiful music for me to listen that also help to have made my day BETTER
