Nah lad — I’m calm as a car alarm This shine’s not borrowed, begged, or blagged — it’s mine, lad, mine Burns through the grime like cider through a weak spine I’m still that daft kid buzzin’ off life, just harder to kill Still burnin’, still burnin’, still burnin' — dead brill Ground zero weren’t a fall — was a fresh fall-in Like I tripped on me past and stood up laughin’ — proper daft I told meself “sort it, lad” — and lad, I sorted it Now every knock they gave me? I banked it — interest paid Now I’m rich in rage, rich in edge, rich in me — rich in me I’m the shine they couldn’t kill — couldn’t kill — couldn’t kill I’m the spark they tried to drown but I still burn still burn I’m the barefaced grin o’ a lad who's had enough — enough — enough Call me comeback, call me chaos, call me pure Scouse will Cos I’m the shine — the shine — the shine they couldn’t kill (“still here lad!”) Back again, back again — brighter than I left Try killin’ me spark next time, mate — good luck Cos I’m the shine they couldn’t kill… couldn’t kill
