lyrics

Round these parts they think I’m strange
Cos I’ve an occasional moustache
And I ride a bike that’s beige and knackered
At forty-seven
My best friend’s died
My other best friend’s married
Living in Riga
There’s a cousin, I’m yet to meet her
Was going to head over last year
Maybe next winter
I hear the beer’s stupid cheap
Didn’t make the ceremony
Livid
Had the speech written, suit delivered and everything

I’m gonna to make this right
Gonna to change those lights
Gonna travel wide
Once the dog has died
I’m gonna fix the front door
Gonna start to try
Gonna work on my core
And drink less wine

Skips outside museums
Are surprisingly thin pickings
Though I got a whiteboard from one
Used it to plot and plan
Plus an info panel on
Mespotanian agricultural practice
Hangs in my bedroom
High up above the mattress
It’s always the big toe
that breaks through the sole first
Worn smooth
Slickest as seasons switch
Underfoot on mud and ice
How does Condelisa Rice
Sleep at night
With what she’s seen
Must be like waking from bad dream
Into another bad bad dream

Co op radio has the best tunes
Dance moves smooth, baguette in left hand
Right hand dog chews
I get the blues
Sometimes
Though they disappear,
Take flight
When the sky is clear
There’s a problem with the mirror
And with the bathroom scales too
Were you supposed to call me
Or was I calling you?

I’m gonna to make this right
Gonna to change those lights
Gonna travel wide
Once the dog has died
I’m Gonna fix that door
Gonna start to try
Gonna work on my core
And drink less wine

I’m gonna to make this right
Gonna to change those lights
Gonna travel wide
Once the dog has died
I’m Gonna fix the front door
Gonna start to try
Gonna work on my core
Maybe drink less wine

Work on my core
Make this right
Start to try
