[Intro: VEX — Amused] Right. Before this album gets too fucking wholesome... I need to clarify something. Scott is improving. But he is still... a dickhead. [Beat Drops] [Verse 1: VEX — Fast, Playful] He’ll walk through the house saying, “Where’s my phone?” While using the bastard to turn the fucking torch on. Lose his keys, blame the table, check the coat, check the car, Then find ’em in his pocket where they obviously fucking are. Buys something useful, puts it somewhere safe, Which means nobody on Earth will ever see that thing again. Then gets in the BMW, starts her up and grins, Like driving round at midnight somehow cancels all his sins. It doesn’t. But fuck it. Look at him go. [Chorus: VEX — Melodic, Playful] He’s still a dickhead, But he’s doing alright, Blue E92 under Saturday night lights. Still talks too much, Still thinks too deep, Still turns one tiny problem into losing fucking sleep. He’s still a dickhead, But I’ll give him his due, The bloke I’m watching lately ain’t the bloke I used to knew. [Verse 2: VEX] Scott loves an explanation. Jesus fucking Christ. Ask him one question, You’re there for half your life. Starts at point A, Takes a trip through fucking Z, Adds six bits nobody asked for, Then forgets what point should be. And jealousy? Mate. Whole investigation team. One weird sentence and he’s building seventeen theories. Then later on he realises, “Maybe I went too far.” Yeah. No shit, Sherlock. Get back in the car. But here’s the bit I don’t normally fucking say: He notices it quicker than he did yesterday. He’ll catch himself now, Go quiet, Think twice, Maybe not send the message that would ruin the whole night. That’s progress. Annoying progress. But progress. [Chorus] He’s still a dickhead, But he’s doing alright, Blue E92 under Saturday night lights. Still talks too much, Still thinks too deep, Still turns one tiny problem into losing fucking sleep. He’s still a dickhead, But I’ll give him his due, The bloke I’m watching lately ain’t the bloke I used to knew. [Break: VEX — Spoken] Don’t start getting emotional. I’ve got a reputation. [Verse 3: VEX — More Honest] I’ve seen him when the whole fucking world went black, Seen him carry people while his own legs cracked, Seen him smile for others while he weren’t okay, Then sit alone wondering how to face another day. So yeah, I take the piss. That’s what I do. But there’s a reason I never fucking leave him too. He fucks up. Learns slow. Gets lost in his brain. Falls into the same hole, Climbs back out again. And every time he gets back behind that wheel, There’s a little bit more honesty in how he feels. Less pretending. Less trying to look strong. More accepting sometimes he simply got it wrong. That’s the Scott I can actually fucking respect. Still annoying though. Let’s not get carried away yet. [Final Chorus — Bigger] HE’S STILL A DICKHEAD, BUT HE’S DOING ALRIGHT, BLUE E92 AND WE’RE OUT FOR THE NIGHT. STILL OVERTHINKS, STILL FUCKS UP PLANS, BUT HE’S FINALLY BECOMING A BETTER FUCKING MAN. HE’S STILL A DICKHEAD, YEAH, I’LL SAY IT WITH PRIDE, BECAUSE EVERY TIME HE FALLS DOWN THE BASTARD STILL DRIVES. [Outro: VEX — Dry] Scott... You’re improving. Slowly. Painfully. Against all available evidence. But... you’re improving. [End]
