Things Are a Little Bit...

I had lunch with a friend And they asked how I am I know things aren't good But I said "I'm not bad" Is it part of being English Am I just too polite To say anything but "I'm doing fine" Who am I kidding When I don't speak the truth I can't lie anymore Things ain't tickety boo So enough of this small talk Hear the words from my lips Things are a little bit shit I can't sleep at night And my head aches all day But things could be worse So I shouldn't complain I take more medication Than my 90 year old nan But I can't be concerned After all I'm a man Who am I kidding When I don't speak the truth I can't lie anymore Things ain't tickety boo So enough of this small talk Hear the words from my lips Things are a little bit shit The planet is dying On that we can agree But it still doesn't make good Reality TV The news says we're damned And we're locked to our screens We're one tap away From world war fucking three Who am I kidding When I don't speak the truth I can't lie anymore Things ain't tickety boo So enough of this small talk Hear the words from my lips Things are a little bit shit Things are a little bit shit Things are a little bit shit
