lyrics

I spend my days in simple acts
Don’t want to make no big moves

Straighten the pictures
Dust the shelves
Maybe hang out some washing
There’s always more washing

Papers that arrived yesterday
Can wait until tomorrow
Lawyer's letter had sent a chill down by spine
Down my spine

Adjust the lamps, make sure there’s plenty of light
Got to have the light right
Small disturbances can throw me right out
You know they throw me right out

Letter sits like a forgotten memory
Suddenly retrieved
Rush of reminders
Holds me poised starting into the distance

(Here’s the trumpet)

I need a drink
I need the company of a crowd
A strong band, smoke in my eyes
A vehicle for this melancholy

They play that song again
And a golden light descends
I count the beat
and tally up my debts
