Summer is over Winter is here Out with the rainbows In with the fears Over cold sun and down to the ball Boys in the waltz and girls in the snow
Swatting flies with Sartre paperbacks enough to turn me on an existentialist Careful what you wish for you may end up getting bored of always getting pissed
And the nights drove on And godly long Another year has come and gone
Tired dirty jokes and secondhand news Who's on their death bed You screw with them Lists of old songs that We used to sing All the grand schemes we'll Never begin
Money is hard to come by, given that the choice is do you eat or do i drink Weighing up the pros and cons the question should i swim or should I try to sink
And the nights drove on And godly long Another year has come and gone
Intimate ailments Frankly compared You show them yours then They'll show you theirs Off to the doctors shitless with fear Napping for ten years Pass me a beer
Pockets are bulging, clippings we found Pictures of buildings razed to the ground Long lost for looks through Thin tearful eyes Borderline jailbait, welcome inside
Time to try and find yourself a partner make your bed and lay to die in it Raise your lip to spoil your youngest look on proudly as he like you turns to drink
And the nights drove on And godly long Another year has come and gone
