lyrics

Unemployed, voluntary work
I live slowly, down to earth
Calm is the currency I earn
What job is my time worth?

Tea for two, milk, no sugar, I see
That's how you stay thin and wiry
Like a pylon, tights like nylon
A bony shoulder to cry on
It's quiet - you're a shy one
And I don't like staying silent
You're a new face, I'm excited
Tell me about yourself, surprise me

You can tell I'm not from around here
Far from home in the home counties
Couple words in and you know by my accent
I flew the nest and I crash-landed
Everyone's assuming
That I came here to be a student
Yeah, I came here to be a student of
Life - everyone's my tutor

Enough about me
What about you? You talk like me
Active politically
So I chat shit about my old MP
You interrupt: "He's my MP!"
What? The same MP?
One chance in 650?
Okay, this is freaky

Where'd you grow up? Go to school?
Don't tell me, it's my old school
Three years above me, that's all
Coincidence, impossible
Your face and hair, I don't recall
From glancing across the assembly hall
Memories plentiful
Convo suspenseful

I'm giggling, so surreal
Giddy, wild-eyed, I'm just thrilled
Like a cheesy rom-com film
But I have no script and blanks to fill

You lived a couple of streets away
Walking distance for a decade
Years and the length of the country
passed us by so we could meet today
Haven't the faintest what to say
Crack a smile and wave
Two needles finally finding each other in the hay

Imagine if Sophie and Wiley both supplied genetic material to a top-secret experiment designed by the Nutty Professor Richard D. James. Which then catastrophically failed and was hushed up. I can neither confirm nor deny that I am what escaped from the test tube. ... more
