- Sam Fender speaks to George Godfrey about his new track Seventeen Going Under, taken from Sam Fender's new album.
Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under lyrics:
I remember the sickness was forever
I remember snuff videos
Cold Septembers
The distances we covered
The fist fights on the beach
The Bizzies round us up
Do it all again next week
Embryonic love
The first time that it scarred
Embarrass yourself for someone
Crying like a child
And the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
Still bugs me now
That’s the thing it lingers
And claws you when you’re down
I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
That’s the thing with anger
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
It makes you hurt the ones who love you
You hurt them like they’re nothing
See I spent my teens enraged
Spiralling in silence
And I armed myself with a grin
Cause I was always a fuckin' joker
Buried in their humour
Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
Locker room talkin' lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God the kid’s a dab hand
Canny chanter, but he looks sad
God, the kid looks so sad
She said the debt, the debt, the debt
So I thought about shifting gear
And how she wept and wept and wept
Luck came and died round here
I see my mother
The DWP see a number
She cries on the floor encumbered
I’m seventeen going under
I’m seventeen going under

He’s just the purest lad. Love him and all he does x
"Once I hit 25 I realized I don't know anything".. Wise man.
He's a breath of fresh air since he released Hypersonic Missiles. I'm looking forward to the new album so much. Let's hope he stays around for many years to come. Cheers from Melbourne.

Class man. Proper Geordie lad, nothing but truths in his songs
He's one of my all-time favorite artists absolutely loved his debut album stoked to hear his sophomore album in October
honestly one of the best songs I have ever heard!
My friends are catching Sam’s gig in Birmingham soon, we’re travelling from Scotland and I’m SKINT so I’m missing it this time but I’m enjoying watching the interviews. Can’t wait to see him in concert at some point!!
A genuine, intelligent man making beautiful music. We need more of such people in the world.
Still the same Sam that worked in the low lights. Proper down to earth.
I love his laugh, he is so cute!! 😂 And I love the new song of course! I can’t wait to listen to the album!! ❤️

Canny lad! Love his Geordie soul
Love hearing geet in interviews like. Geet is a geordie word that means absolutely nothing but means everything. We had a geet box at home(like a swear box) coz me mam hated the word. Sharp stopped saying it when I got no pocket money for 3 weeks in a row!!
Howay man
I was thinking of Springsteen too

Means a great singer
What does canny chanter mean

Bizzies...has been used as a term for the cops UP here in the north east since I was a bairn in the sixties...my das used it always.
The line "Canny chanter, but he looks sad" just sounds like gibberish. And that's why I love Sam, this song, and everything!
Chancer
It’s Geordie, not gibberish
Chanter=singer
