lyrics

The visible signs of ageing

That’s the war you’re waging,
Reduce the visible signs of ageing.
Sell the part you’re playing
To be real life.

So tired of doing this;
So empty and purposeless.
Now downwardly I spin.
How cowardly I’ve been.

In the future, you’ll be dead,
Your cryogenically frozen head
Melted in unseasonable weather;
A catastrophic administrative error.

So tired of being this;
So lined and defeated.
Now outwardly I grin.
How dishonest I’ve been.
Ghost write it in instead of course.
My by-line is on your story
And it needs an edit.

Indie pop doesn’t pay the bills,
Solo careers are for conceited individuals.
I feel the options drying up.
The contract to which I am a signatory
Says every year you’ve got to lose a little more dignity.
I’m in the band but you may not have heard of me.

Wrestling with the decommissioned runway ban;
Talk to the polio-withered hand;
But stay out of my face because you’re damaging my brand
And we all bought death on the instalment plan.

So tired of doing this.
