lyrics

Since I can remember
It’s been a struggle to survive
Merely been a bit-player
Drifting in and out of people’s lives
Never had a lot of time
To spend on happiness
Ever needed to forget my existence
I’d go out on the piss

It’s submission
This admission
That I’ve no real ambition
I cannot see a point in trying
To change my position
There’s a curse hanging over me
Like imminent rainfall
Trying to shake it off’s
Like banging my head against a wall

Twenty-five years I’ve been on this land
I’ve never ever managed to understand
Those intricate rules everybody seems to know
I guess that’s why I feel so alone

Whenever one door opened
Another door slammed in my face
I’ve had enough of trying to be
A member of the human race
It seems a long way down
From the top of this stool
But I’ve no need to worry
The rope will break my fall

Apprehension mixed with tension
While there’s still time for prevention
The stool slides from beneath my feet
And it’s all lost in suspension
My life unfolds before me
In a hundred different ways
The only part worth seeing
Happened to me today

Twenty-five years I’ve been on this land
I’ve never ever managed to understand
Those intricate rules everybody seems to know
I guess that’s why I feel so alone
