Scuttlers

Scuttlers were members of neighbourhood-based youth gangs (known as scuttling gangs) formed in working class areas of Manchester, Salford, and the surrounding townships during the late 19th century. It is possible to draw parallels with the London street gangs of the 1890s, whose behaviour was labelled hooliganism. The social commentator Alexander Devine attributed the gang culture to lack of parental control, lack of discipline in schools, "base literature" and the monotony of life in Manchester's slums.Gangs were formed throughout the slums of central Manchester, in the townships of Bradford, Gorton and Openshaw to the east and in Salford, to the west of the city.

Cold hearts and desperate minds
All craving for narcotics of all sort of kinds
Yea we all wanna be seen
We all wanna be heard
Yet we sit there sucking our sleeves
Not saying a word
We sit there on the kerb outside
Waiting for our ride
To pick us up and take us on the journey through our lives
We know it won't come but we'll wait anyway
Coz we ain't got anything else to do no we ain't got out to say
So I'll say
You've lost us somewhere in the books
We're the Leaders of a Lost Generation
We're all down yea we need a buzz coz we know we
Won't see your face again
We've got our backs to the past, we don't believe in yesterday
I won't talk about tomorrow 'cause there's just too much to say
But we're still tied up in the little things
We're all riddled with lies
Like being too close to the TV and getting square eyes
Now they all think we're stupid, but only we know the means
Of social networking and wearing tight jeans
No we don't like to admit it no
But it's only the truth
We're controlled by our image and our egos are off the fucking roof
So I'll say
You've lost us somewhere in the books
We're the Leaders of a Lost Generation
We're all down yea we need a buzz coz we know we
Won't see your face again
And so I'll
Stand here in the pouring rain
With my mouth wide open tryin' to swallow the pain
And I know it won't go away it's still at the back at the back of my throat
But I won't let it ruin my dinner no so, please let me note:
You've lost us somewhere in the books
We're the Leaders of a Lost Generation
We're all down yea we need a buzz coz we know we
Won't see your face again
Now say it now and say it now
We're the Leaders of a Lost Generation
We'll pray and bow we'll pray and bow and hope
That we'll see you again
Again
Again
That we'll see you again
Yea Yea
Yea yea
Ow!
