lyrics

When did you first recognise
The death of truth and the birth oflies?
Hyperbole in the major key
Lack of self-determination
Might just bring me my salvation
Without free will then you can’t blame me
I look across and see my neighbour
I think his name is John
He’s bending down to pick crisp packets off his lawn
He’s claiming compensation for the poisoning of his koi carp pond
As far as I know, Frazzles have thus far failed to respond

And he’ll tell anyone who’ll listen
“The local parish church
Is now a tattoo parlour
What a backwards moral lurch”
Tattoos versus religion
A choice between the two?
One’s a permanent mark you’ll regret in later life
The other’s a tattoo
Struggling to reach my pinnacle
It’s hard these days to not be cynical
Confident can seem aloof
So I make my way, shuffling and shimmying
Down the street looking somewhat simian
Past the house with the old tin roof
If romance is dead then I saw its ghost
Leaning there on an old gatepost
Misty-eyed with a crooked grin
All I really want to do
Is get a little drunk with you
In a bath
In a Premier Inn

And like so many people
I’ve struggled with the weight
Of all the petty burdens
I couldn’t abdicate
And like so many people
I struggle with the blues
But maybe that’s just a consequence of the scattering of light which inevitably means we see certain photons as they radiate downwards
More clearly than other hues
