[00:22.27] | Picture this 2.30 |
[00:23.46] | on the hottest night in June |
[00:25.26] | He awakes for no reason |
[00:26.51] | and checks his watch by the moon |
[00:28.46] | And his mouth feels as dry as |
[00:30.20] | his eyes as he struggles to rise |
[00:32.03] | And stops to contemplate |
[00:32.59] | his wife’s thighs as he does up his flies |
[00:35.60] | He finds his slippers |
[00:36.53] | where he left them under the chair |
[00:38.34] | behind the 2 cups |
[00:39.59] | and an old copy of marie claire |
[00:41.59] | He switches the on the coffee machine |
[00:43.09] | that of course works like a dream |
[00:45.02] | catches sight of his reflection |
[00:45.96] | in the silver surface sheen |
[00:48.27] | And It’s a face he knows well |
[00:50.01] | although it should look less abused |
[00:51.01] | With all these moisturisers |
[00:52.20] | and the skin products he’s used |
[00:54.94] | As he moves through the kitchen' |
[00:56.31] | his homage to brushed steel |
[00:57.81] | Across the new pine flooring |
[00:59.31] | that’s plastic but looks real |
[01:00.99] | Past the plasma with the widescreen |
[01:02.32] | and the cinema surround sound |
[01:04.65] | And he stops on his favourite |
[01:06.39] | spot by the window and looks down |
[01:07.91] | On the orange lit street |
[01:09.22] | at the edge of the private car park |
[01:10.60] | Where his Audi TT is waiting safely in the dark |
[01:14.10] | |
[01:21.90] | Keeping it all inside of you |
[01:25.89] | |
[01:27.70] | Something will have to give |
[01:31.88] | |
[01:34.25] | And if you could you’ll take it back |
[01:38.62] | But you lose your way in the way you live |
[01:44.86] | |
[01:59.84] | Now he can hear wind chimes |
[02:01.77] | tinkling out on the balcony |
[02:03.33] | And his phone beeping out a text message |
[02:05.27] | in the same key |
[02:07.08] | He checks it and it’s Jill |
[02:09.01] | who used to be his secretary |
[02:10.01] | Before they started an affair |
[02:11.82] | and things began to get really scary |
[02:13.71] | |
[02:14.46] | Now his wife Mary is getting weary of his lies |
[02:17.53] | Like she’s read the whole |
[02:18.84] | sordid story in his eyes |
[02:20.10] | It doesn’t help that |
[02:21.85] | Jill’s now saying that she’s 2 weeks late |
[02:23.92] | His mental state is really |
[02:25.30] | starting to deteriorate |
[02:25.80] | He never knew how he got so out of his depth |
[02:30.10] | Or why he’s broken more than |
[02:31.79] | all these promises kept |
[02:32.47] | And it’s been ages since he slept |
[02:36.03] | Properly' his sleeps now broken |
[02:37.96] | by these dreams of extra-marital activity |
[02:39.52] | Trying to recapture the rapture |
[02:42.40] | that he used to get from his material possessions |
[02:44.83] | And endless retail therapy sessions |
[02:47.32] | Shoulda listened to what his dad said before he died |
[02:50.46] | The best things in life |
[02:51.77] | are the ones you can’t buy son |
[02:54.22] | Keeping it all inside of you |
[02:57.98] | |
[02:58.99] | Something will have to give |
[03:03.94] | |
[03:06.37] | Wish you could buy a ticket back |
[03:11.43] | |
[03:12.74] | But you lose your way in the way you live |
[03:17.04] | |
[03:19.29] | He used to feel so safe up here |
[03:21.04] | in his shrine to Ikea |
[03:21.91] | Away from the shouts and the louts |
[03:23.97] | and the girls with the over-painted pouts |
[03:25.79] | And the queers and the dykes |
[03:27.28] | and the kids in their box-fresh Nikes |
[03:29.04] | Delivering rocks to the house |
[03:30.29] | across the street on rusty mountain bikes |
[03:33.11] | |
[03:34.36] | Aah aah |
