about

A fun pop song about wondering why you ever hooked up with that special someone only to realise, they ain't all that.

lyrics

Once upon a time and space,
You faked a certain charm and grace,
But you longed for authenticity,
It never made that much sense to me.

Bread and circuses, we had it all,
The writing was on the wall,
We ran our course, it was truly manic,
Mind the gap and please don’t panic.

You’re as miserable as sin
Coz much to your chagrin
You’re as miserable as sin
Coz I won’t let you in

You and me were just passing temporal
This thing we had was so ephemeral,
You hung the moon, or so I thought,
But it was cheese, and we came to nought.

You’re as miserable as sin
Coz much to your chagrin
You’re as miserable as sin
Coz I won’t let you in

You’ve been down and out and up all night,
Making waves and you’ve taken flight,
You’re not that far from civilised,
And that’s nothing to be trivialised.

Miserable ghosts circle your brain,
God knows why, and you can’t explain,
Miserable ghosts circle your brain,
I hope they see there’s nothing to gain.
