FAWM: "So F****** Close (contains profanity)"

So F****** Close (contains profanity)

NSFW

Liner Notes

If #PeakyBlinders did #Britpop ... in a #stadium... Honestly, this is so #NSFW and there is profanity all over it, so if that's not for you, please do walk by on the other side. I am still wondering whether it's just too much.

The inspiration is of course the scene from PeakyBlinders where Tommy is resigned to being murdered in a field and expresses how close he was to succeeding in all his endeavours. I was thinking an Oasis kind of vibe and so (inevitably) that a football crowd should be able to sing it...

Lyrics

CH So f****** close, so f****** close For a man on a mission, a gang with ambition There's no such thing as almost So f****** close, so f****** close I'll never stop while there's time on the clock And I'm so f****** close

V1 The fastest women and the slowest horses Couldn't stop me from becoming a boss I nearly ran faster than my demons But nearly means you still f****** lost

V2 There's a woman that I truly love Amid the hangers-on of every sort She and I nearly had it all But nearly means you still came up short

V3 I've got no time for limitations Perseverance off the Richter scale But when your goal's to change the world Nearly means you still f****** failed

Bridge No more cr** No more boasts No more chat No more jokes One more job One more fight One more shot One more bite

CH FINAL CH

I tend not to be a dancer, but this sure made it tempting to get on my feet and go for it. Love the line "fastest women and the slowest horses" as well as the very singable chorus.

I love the energy! This is super catchy and grooving. It's hard to sit still. That chorus is a real singalong winner. I think it will be the anthem of the masses. Awesome bridge, too. I was into that show for a while...but then I just forgot about it somehow
