lyrics

Every good venue that closes down
Rips another piece from the heart of the town
More to a city that fancy flats
Generic stores and chains of coffee shops

I remember the place so well
Posters on the wall behind the stage
You had breath in, to squeeze in the hall
While the band pumped out power chords and rage
Saw them later on TV
But where was the passion, they had on that stage.

Used to be more than bricks
It’s where we grew together, had fun together
Used to be more than bricks
But it’s back to bricks today

Every good venue that closes down
Rips another piece from the heart of the town
More to a city that fancy flats
Generic stores and chains of coffee shops

I remember the bar so well
Crowded round the table talking rubbish’ double speed
Don’t remember all we said
It was always about music and the politics of greed.
Sometimes met up in other pubs
But it wasn't the same, it wasn't our place

Used to be more than bricks
It’s where we grew together, had fun together
Used to be more than bricks
But it’s back to bricks today

Every good venue that closes down
Rips another piece from the heart of the town
More to a city that fancy flats
Generic stores and chains of coffee shops

Used to be more than bricks
It’s where we grew together, had fun together
Used to be more than bricks
But it’s back to bricks today
Just a pile of bricks today
