Someone’s been playing detective
Searching for conviction
Did it fall behind the sofa
Along with all the 5p pieces
Chewing gum and Beano annuals
Contaminated
Gumption has gone galumphing
Spurned by strange addiction
Sálo in the frontal cortex
Scrambling your get-up-and-go
Drowning you in coulda shoulda
Intoxicated
This is how
good times
speed past
but overstay
This is how
her smile
lingers
but not her face
No more excuses
There’s work to do
So postpone all your plans
Fire the ignition
T minus 5
White knuckle grip be damned
It happens today
Or it never happens at all
It happens today
Save your fantasy for tomorrow
It happens today
Or it never happens at all
So come on
Make the now that you’ve been longing for
The now that you need to go on
Calendars can’t be reused
Backdates court neurosis
Lobster in a darkened cellar
Always gonna be there somehow
Gurning in the clammy stupor
Of domination
Blinders aren’t rosy glasses
But you’ll stay in focus
Zooming down the straight and narrow
Far from all the nagging terrors
Giddy with the burgeoning warmth
Of jubilation
This is how
bad times
inch past
but always fade
This is how
kind arms
grow old
but still embrace, still embrace
There’s work to do
So postpone all your plans
Fire the ignition
T minus 5
White knuckle grip be damned
It happens today
Or it never happens at all
It happens today
Save your fantasy for tomorrow
It happens today
Or it never happens at all
So come on
Make the now that you’ve been longing for
The now that you need to go on
Most people don’t
But I know you’re not most people
Most people don’t
But I know you’re not most people
