-
feet up - book out - warm tea - i’m in the mood
finally a moment of old when this big world demanded so little from you
but howling from the other room
i should just get over you
this crying in the night
up again till one or two
then down without a fight
i should just get over you
turn my tail and run
pour myself some sparkling solitude
drink till it is done
i should just get over you
feet back up - book back out - cool tea - end of the interlude
the birds and the bees - the lotus leaf - fed from a golden spoon
but howling from the other room
i should just get over you
this crying in the night
up again till one or two
then down without a fight
i should just get over you
can’t muster up a run
echoes in this lonely room
hover like a gun
i should just get over you
find me
find me in the bathroom - a bottle of amaretto - running from responsibility
meet me in the kitchen - fixing a ristretto - ‘cause she just caught up with me
find me in the foyer staring through a window - trying to spot the breeze
watch me in the bedroom - weeping like a willow - pining for release
see me in the garden smoking armadillos - trying to feel some sort of ease
back into the bedroom punching out a pillow - ‘cause I can’t find none of these
find me in the bathroom - a bottle of amaretto - running from responsibility
Meet me in the kitchen - fixing a ristretto - ‘cause she just caught up with me
love me in the living room - feed me from a golden spoon - with booze and birds and bees
life is allegretto i am sprinting in stilettos whilst fumbling for the keys
life is a libretto I am faking a falsetto whilst fumbling for the key
i’ll sing aaaleuiaaa when it’s all done and over
when will I get over you - will I be alright
echoes in this lonely room drink deep into the night
a song to fight your overwhelm.
i found myself just standing in the bathroom, staring at the mirror, trying to cry…. this song came to me in a period of absolute OVERWHELM. my live-music business was just tanking (due to corona) - i was penniless - and i had just become a dad for the second time (not loving it). all this meant i was feeling especially angry and trapped. music was a way that i could soothe this overwhelm and feel just that tiny bit better.
in the song you’ll feel this ‘trapped-tiger’ energy - it’s almost like a logbook of the mundane days i spent during lockdown, between bedroom, bathroom and kitchen - just trying to self-medicate my frustration.
maybe you know this feeling. maybe this song helps. leave a comment below!
