• The Grind

I used to think I was independent because I got up and left for the South
That's where the grind caught up with me again
I found the town all right, got seasonal work then settled for a year and achieved (?) first of all with a boyfriend
But he wasn't the one
And seasons change the same wherever you are
So you're rumbling alone not unhappily in your routine when he appears
And suddenly you're wretched, you've let yourself down and there's only one way out of this
And the car door is wide open
You open your eyes, and you're on passenger seats
The too familiar town to see in the rearview
And all you got is your work close and a big grin
You've left everything behind again but you've left him plenty to remember you by
Then you're both doing pick-up work, keeping one step ahead of the grind that spreads like an invading army through everyone's minds
And keeps them ticking over in the engine of the blind
Until one day you're looking at each other and you can both see the symptoms of a disease in your routine affections, in your private language, in your new friends' assumptions
And you wake up one morning, and you roll to the middle of the bed, and you're fever cold, and there's no note
The inevitable slaps your face but you don't know if it's saying "I told you so" or if it's saying that you're a fool to expect anything different
Now you're stranded in a foreign country with no money and a few fair-weathered friends and they're telling you that constant drifting isn't means to a (?) end
I know I'm gonna jam
And it's not gonna be much fun, I'm settling like dust
My daydreams packed in pacing rhyme (??)
But I don't have any regrets for all the people left behind
Because their disapproving faces show the grey cancer of the grind
