about

Written, performed and produced by Laurie Shaw

lyrics

I came to you like a moth to a candle-lit dinner
The Pulitzer Prize winner
Who doesn't turn up to except the award
I live in the documentary of my life
Sat with the flickering footage of a wife
Who doesn't get bored
Posthumously re-releasing my back catalogue

I came to you
Like a moth to a flame thrower
And I treated you like a disgruntled reviewer
Treats a post-modern grower

I feel compelled to cause a fight
And leave a bad taste in the mouth of life
Before I bow out in some hotel based
Asphyxiation Scandal
Well, if I'm such a genius
Then I only have four years left to go
Baby, I know you'll be there fighting
For a humanist funeral

I came to you
Like a moth to a flame thrower
Sorry that I sighed when you said "slower"
But I just had a really good idea

Find a girl who smells like your mother
Marry, get a wage,
Keep up the pretence you still love her
Have some kids that your jealous of
For doing all the shit you were scared to try
Have some dinner parties
Get into karate,
Watch PornHub once in a while
Lose all of your good friends
Get on to your death bed
Lie you "regret nothing" and smile
And die all night
That's life!
