lyrics

I now know these corridors like the back of my hand
I can read consultants’ tones
I recall the camera and the rending of meat
I can taste the Moviprep
(the drink that didn’t work)

Oh God how much more
(take a pen and sign/jab down in the thigh)
It’s all such a bore

Oh God how much more
(piles of yellow bins/useless earthly things)
It’s all such a bore

Not long now

Not long now

Grumblyguts I know they’ve got our best interests in mind
Grumblyguts that’s why we’re here
Why we’ll soon lie down
To be swallowed by amour eye

Sliced widthways by scimitars and they keep on slicing
Only briefly holding back
But in spite of the onslaughts on my charnel house
I choose not to give it up
(as long as it still works)

At least I’m still here
(well done have a drink/throw up in the sink)
Better here than there

At least I’m still here
(could have been much worse/could be in a hearse)
Better here than there

Dance with me until the morning
Catch my breath if I start yawning
And if I don’t quite reach forty
Please don’t drown yourself in mourning
