lyrics
What have I achieved since my twenty-third year?
Just some self-obsessed songs that nobodies heard
made i sign for my music room that reads
"You've accomplished NOTHING"
Found a girl who likes to cuddle
made a motivational mix of songs and fell asleep in the bath
til the grubby, saline water was cold
Work, sleep, hold you tight
work, sleep, sit in at night
pretending to read
as my eyes slip to the screen
Just a few months and now everything seems changed
you feel the nerves creep up the back of your knees
colours more vivid
but everything's lost some value
even your old friends
When you're happier, you wanna drink less
so why've bought these nine pint mini-kegs?
I'm developing, now when I'm nervous
I still scratch my penis, but no longer sniff fingers
Help a stranger down a flight of steps with a pram then
run off with her handbag
Maybe Cotton Mather was right and there's evil circling our homes at night
Just a few months and now everything seems changed
you feel the nerves creep up the back of your knees
colours more vivid
but everything's lost some value
even your old friends
I look embarrassed
but say it's sunburn
when maybe I'm hiding some lethal guilt
and the suspense felt
by Dr Crippin on The Montrose
caught by a pyjama top as Ethel parades in his wife's clothes
Woke up with a big man's beard like snakes pouring out of my pores
like fear
Even though it was only onion tears
i put my arm round you and I held you near
What have I achieved since my twenty-third year?
Just some self-obsessed songs that nobodies heard
Just some self-obsessed songs that nobodies heard
made i sign for my music room that reads
"You've accomplished NOTHING"
Found a girl who likes to cuddle
made a motivational mix of songs and fell asleep in the bath
til the grubby, saline water was cold
Work, sleep, hold you tight
work, sleep, sit in at night
pretending to read

Just a few months and now everything seems changed
you feel the nerves creep up the back of your knees
colours more vivid
