Tough Guys
Rebel Hearts and Dirty Jeans: Unraveling the Meaning of Cock Sparrer's 'Tough Guys'
Lyrics
I know he's not the kind, the kind that settles down
I know he's not the type to settle down.
And I know he finds it hard to keep his feet on the ground
He struggles to stay grounded and stable.
He goes drinking every night down the pub with all his mates
He frequently goes drinking with friends at the pub.
Getting into fight's staying out till late
He gets into fights and stays out late.
But when he comes home rolling drunk
When he returns home drunk, don't get upset.
Don't get the 'ump, just remember
Encourages not to get angry, just remember.
Even though guys need someone some times
Even though guys sometimes need someone.
Even though guys need someone some times
-Even though guys need someone some times
-Even though guys need someone some times
-He don't where Armani suits or shirts pressed nice and clean
He doesn't wear upscale clothes but opts for a more casual style.
He wears doc martens boots and dirty Levi jeans
Describes his attire as Doc Martens boots and dirty Levi jeans.
Your friend's all think he's gross and your parents hate his guts
His friends dislike him, and your parents hate him.
And once he gave you a dose but the tablets cleared it up
He once gave you an infection, but medication cleared it up.
They all say he's no good, but he's misunderstood, and remember
People criticize him, but the singer believes he's misunderstood.
Even though guys need someone some times
Reiteration that guys sometimes need someone.
Even though guys need someone some times
-Even though guys need someone some times
-Even though guys need someone some times
-He drives his car to fast he don't remember what you said
He drives recklessly and doesn't heed your advice.
His promises don't last and he's lousy in bed
His promises are unreliable, and he's not good in bed.
And when you're at a party and he's puking in the bin
Describes a scene where he's vomiting at a party.
And you're try to remember what you ever saw in him
You're trying to recall why you were attracted to him.
So don't go into one, he's only having fun, and remember
Asks not to overreact; he's just having fun, and remember.
Even though guys need someone some times
Reiteration that guys sometimes need someone.
Even though guys need someone some times
-Even though guys need someone some times
-Even though guys need someone some times
