lyrics

As a young man,
I thought I knew everything,
I thought I knew how to live,
Completely clueless.
When 2005 was the worst year of my life,
You made it good,
When I thought no-one could.

But I was just a boy when I met you,
I shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to.

On the night you left,
I heard everything you’d say,
I crumbled and crawled away,
I woke up in an alleyway.
Cause that night I raised my fist and in my fist I raised my drink.
I drank to broken limbs,
to bloodied lips,
to losing all you thought you wanted.

But I was just a Boy when I met you,
I shouldn’t have let you in but I let you,
It was 2005 I thought this loss might be my life,
Oh but I was just a Boy when I met you.

Seventeen and you think you know it all,
Nineteen and you think you know it all,
But I knew.

I was just a Boy when I met you.

about

Tellison London, UK

Tellison is a failed minor league indie rock band from London with acute organisational difficulties. They've released three albums and a bunch of singles.

Back in 2015 Tellison dusted off their guitars and referencing conventions, stepped up to take another swing at, if not the big time, at least the medium time and released "Hope Fading Nightly".

Things never quite go to plan. ... more
