I would just like to say, the few people I have shown this too have suggested I remove the curses. But, because I come from a northern town in England, this is literally the common use of the word, just in the middle of sentences. Also, I think swearing is some of the strongest, most emotive language and something songwriters often fail to use enough. Any criticism at all would be really appreciated.

Make sure to leave a link to anything particular you would like me to leave feedback on!

Thank you.

Verse:
Sittin' on the last bus,
watching all the lads go
out for the night.
Smell of mischief in the air,
there's anxious coppers everywhere
feeling up for a fight.

The weathers fucking lashing down,
this town is full of snakes and clowns
on the prowl for a bite.
I'm really feeling out of place
this coming storm i'll have to brace,
and try to hold tight.

Chorus:
And then she turns around to me and says
'Do you feel alright?
When we get in and dry,
we can just turn off the light

Cause it goes, on and on, its the way its got be,
yeah it goes, on and on, like an unchanged melody.'

Verse 2:
This northern town's a fucking joke
every bodies either blipped or broke
and its riddled with crime.
I've gotta get away from here,
just fucking fade away and disappear
before i'm stuck in the grime.

These gales are fucking blowing me
in a direction I dont wonna be
but ive not got the fight
this town will be the end of me
this decree lies within debris
my final plea for decency

Chorus:
And then she turns around to me and says
'Do you feel alright?
When we get in and dry,
we can just turn off the light

Cause it goes, on and on, its the way its got be,
yeah it goes, on and on, like an unchanged melody.'

I'm from a northern town with which I have a love/hate relationship. I can certainly identify with the lyrics, and I'd suggest keeping the expletives in! Really like the 'unchanged melody' phrase.

I get the whole swearing thing, I do it myself most of the time, so I can relate to this really well. I do think they make it better.

Yes people can be quite sensitive when it comes to curses though.

there is nothing wrong with the curses in the song lyric, they actually make the song very interesting,

you should keep the song with the swears because in away its more true like in an argument people would go 'Fuck Off And Leave My House' but in songs its 'Please Leave' so it gives it more of a original taste plus it's also telling the truth and the song are very well written
