lyrics

I was a by-the-wind sailor
Hard asleep on the breeze
I could sail so close to the wind that
I could sting whoever I pleased

I was the skeletal protagonist
In the very first frame of some comic strip
I was as aimless as evolution
I was a chipper optimist

Blissfully unaware that in the panels to come
Everything would unravel
And I'd piss off everyone

Hang in there kitten
You've got to hang 'til it hurts
How you gonna cover your ears?
This song is cursed.

Now I am a data validator
For a data validator
A barely human centipede of validators
Validating all your data

And then later back at my flat
I can hear the neighbours bat
A bare lightbulb and laugh at the shadows
As they dance dance dance to the songs on their phone

And every time that bellend sings
Another angel clips its wings

Hang in there kitten
You've got to hang 'til it hurts
How you gonna cover your ears?
This song is cursed.

Every time that bellend sings
Another angel clips its wings

Me and my palm tree
A mackerel sky
A corduroy sea
Oh no that's not how it works
This song is cursed.

So, hang in there kitten
You've got to hang 'til it hurts
How you gonna cover your ears?
This song is cursed.
It only gets worse.
