lyrics

Far From The Mad In-Crowd

The artist’s name is Carol
She’s not frightened to explore
She wears the right apparel
As she nails things to the floor

She’s juxtaposed and heaven knows
She loves to be adored
By all the vague eyed wannabes
Who try not to look bored

By the time it takes to notice
She’ll have blown a fuse
They don’t care
Winding down a lonely avenue
In the middle of nowhere
Had to get away from all that dreadful bonhomie
Living fiction, dying for a normal cup of tea

Far from the mad in-crowd

Her boyfriend’s known as Kenny
He designs computer games
And children there are many
But they don’t have common names

Statues made of rope
They found abandoned on the shore
Her art is full of hope
For what, she’s not exactly sure

Don’t forget the bin bags
Go out on a Tuesday every week
Torn apart by hungry urban foxes
In the middle of town where
They all reside and exist inside the gig economy
Living hand to mouth and dying for a taste of luxury

Far from the mad in-crowd

Various Nefarious Reasons

You’re caught between a hard place and a rock
You can’t ignore the ticking clock
And all the promises they made
Dissolve you feel like you’ve been played
When every sentence has a hollow ring
They’re following an instinct

For various nefarious reasons

While your life is slipping through the cracks
Time wasted picking up the slack
They swear to you that white is black
And paint a target on your back
And as they stole they claimed it was borrowing
They’re following an instinct

For various nefarious reasons
