Have you ever heard how to disappear From the nothingness of your life filled with cheap thrills? On the Central line "Suburban" irritant With that smell of fear, & cabbage spicy garbage and "what's up kid?" So...you gave yourself to dance, London owes you a chance but your hair went grey you couldn't hold your nerve In the river Thames And you find yourself harmless, you find yourself floating away In a paper cup It was as short as it was brutal as it was ambitious as it was pure
Now you tread down the streets of King's Cross blue mascara And a bag from Tesco The drinking days so far away yeah the sorry tales Can't run form your haunting story called "I've had my days of glory" It's about the time your father died on a playing field
It comes to nothing but I'm still looking at your freckles & our lies It comes to nothing but I'm still wondering the wonder of being alive Cause I'm not allright
Your Beaujoulais is running out with red letters on the floor - you didn't show It was as short as it was brittle, ever ambitious, our stupid joke
You like to talk about efficiency All we have is a basis for a workable thing You love to talk about efficiency All we have is a minimum basis for a workable thing
Something's running in your veins and takes control over you Something good and something dreary If you ever fled the scene If you ever felt the heat It can't get any easier they say "what for" as you walk away Your Dostoevskj sleeps tonight and all your literature is torn
You like to talk about efficiency All you have is a basis for a workable thing
