lyrics

(30 July 2015 / 06 September 2018)

he bought himself a large bed
from the meagre savings that he had
and he learned to cook some dishes
high in flavour and low on fat
so that any given day
he could invite someone to stay
everything would be prepared
but when the moment came
he never knew the thing to say
to show them that he cared

he worked out and he shaved
in a strict daily routine
he never drank or stayed up late
his underwear and sheets were clean
so that whenever someone came
to brighten up his day
they would find him at his best
but when the moment came
there was no way to make them stay

he embraced the morning light
learned to savour the bright side
and filled his heart with highest hopes
and he forced himself to smile
at every cat and every child
like a circus freak on dope
but it only led to shame
life just doesn’t work that way
try as he may to make a stand
his moment never really came
and all that brightened up his day
was to know that it would end

there’s really nothing you can do
when the world’s at odds with you
it will not warm up to you
you’re taking yourself for a fool
cross your heart and face the truth:
there’s really nothing here for you
