Look Out For My Brother – The Virginmarys

Look out for my brother, oh yeah
Look out for my sister, sister
Look out for my brother, mother, sister, father, friend and lover
Look out for my brother, oh yeah
Look out for my sister, sister

I was born where the motorway met the country
With the power station Cheshire grin
Where the workers went to change their story
And the teachers threatened kids with sin

And I smoked so much that it dried my eyes out
And I drunk so much I grew some fins
When under the silence
There was violence within

Look out for my brother, oh yeah
Look out for my sister, sister
Look out for my brother, mother, sister, father, friend and lover
Look out for my brother, oh yeah
Look out for my sister, sister

I was born where the concrete met the country
Where no one dared let secrets slip
The only truth came from the silence
And the tension built stiff upper lips

I let go of everything it taught me
I’m trying to make some gold from tin
And it’s not the high life
But it’s my life, and I’m livin’ in

Look out for my brother, oh yeah
Look out for my sister, sister
Look out for my brother, mother, sister, father, friend and lover
Look out for my brother, oh yeah
Look out for my sister, sister
Look out for my brother, oh yeah
Look out for my sister, sister
