I get the petrol don't forget to buy a couple of sweets
|
Sometimes I like to treat myself if only once a week
|
Open the door, get in the car, sit in the driver's seat
|
Peer into the rearview mirror and I'm staring back at me
|
When I say me I don't mean me as in my own reflection
|
Hardly slept so I suspect I'm staring at some weird projection
|
My brain has made to tell me alcohol abuse is wrong
|
Whereupon, I turn around and realise somethings going on:
|
Trust me son, this ain't a con, you have to trust your eyeballs
|
Know those eyes are fine because they're mine so don't be stifled
|
You're slightly balder now and yes your pubes are turnin grey
|
But you've travelled back in time cause there's important shit to say
|
|
Don't do that (nope)
|
They'll try to dupe ya
|
Don't do this (nah)
|
They'll try to shoot ya
|
Don't do her (grim!)
|
She didn't suit ya
|
Today I met myself and I told me bout my future
|
|
So I'm sat in the front and sat in the back, as you do havin a chat
|
Asking bout the change in rap and where the musics at
|
I'm careful not to tell myself entirely everything
|
I've come here just to warn me as to what the future brings:
|
Oi, Listen, El, surely you can see that you're me
|
I'm you, look at the lips, you really can't ignore me
|
I know that in that bag there's ginger beer and curly-wurlys
|
It's kinda hurly burly but you must believe my story
|
I know you tasted glory, was all hunky dory,
|
Now you're standing on the borderline, today's the day your sure to find,
|
You don't know where to draw the line, this is the start of your decline
|
That's why I came back exactly 15 years before your sordid crime
|
|
Don't do that (nope)
|
They'll try to dupe ya
|
Don't do this (nah)
|
They'll try to shoot ya
|
Don't do her (grim!)
|
She didn't suit ya
|
Today I met myself and I told me bout my future
|
|
Freakin out, I been sneakin bout
|
Feelin edgy bout the fact that I've seeked me out
|
I'm freakin out, I been sneakin bout
|
And I've sat inside my car and started speakin bout
|
What's yet to come
|
|
It seems most of what the future has to hold for me is decent
|
But recently my future self was caught having a threesome
|
One of the girls was underage with fake identification
|
The other one was legal but her father's occupation
|
Was head of a group of hoodlums from just south of the Thames
|
The entire episode was captured from a hidden lens
|
They found some substances inside the glove box of my car
|
So I'm front page of the sun, the mirror and the daily star
|
I'm either goin down for twenty or thugs are out to get me
|
My walls are bout to crumble which is why I went and sent me
|
Back in time, prevent the crime, avoid Jane and Amy
|
It seems my future self's a prick but really who can blame me
|
|
Don't do that (nope)
|
They'll try to dupe ya
|
Don't do this (nah)
|
They'll try to shoot ya
|
Don't do her (grim!)
|
She didn't suit ya
|
Today I met myself and I told me bout my future
