Skinny Lister - Tough Stuff Like Us Lyrics

Just because you make a noise
It doesn't mean you have a voice
It doesn't mean you have a choice

Put a smile upon your face
Doesn't mean you've got it made
It doesn't mean it's all that great

And just because you laugh along
It doesn't mean you feeling strong
It doesn't mean there's nothing wrong

And when you say I'm doing fine
There's always more than meets the eye
What's going on between the lines?

And your brother told you not to cry
Never show the terror in your eyes
You're tough stuff like us
It's not the done thing round these parts
To speak of matters of the heart
You're tough stuff like us

Just because you play it cool
It doesn't mean your bullet proof
Beyond bravado lies a truth

For you I'll make the leap of faith
Take a risk I never take
And say those words I never say

And your brother told you not to cry
Never show the terror in your eyes
You're tough stuff like us
It's not the done thing round these parts
To speak of matters of the heart
You're tough stuff like us

Stay in control and keep your feelings hidden
Demonstrative is not a word that's fitting
Displaying love or weakness is forbidden
Especially here in the north of England

And your brother told you not to cry
Never show the terror in your eyes
You're tough stuff like us
It's not the done thing round these parts
To speak of matters of the heart
You're tough stuff like us (x3)
