Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It could be seconds, it could be minutes
Or on a good day, maybe an hour
After I awake all my senses start to ache
Always the same strangling shame
Visited down upon my brain each morning
My soul is sick, a herring-gull in an oilslick
[Verse 2]
I don't feel up to it but we're off
To an old pal's wedding in the Lakes
Following a flask of coffee up blustery Catbells
We arrive late for the bird-of-prey display
[Verse 3]
An eagle-owl swoops an inch above the ducking guests
The feathered cleaver of its wing hews clouds of our breath
It tears apart the abandoned body of a mouse
And I feel nothing
[Verse 4]
Mountains of fingerfood, flutes of fizz
Billowing bunting my self-loathing is
A purse full of bile whose drawstrings are this cheery smile
[Verse 5]
"How've you been getting on?"
Sausage rolls and vol-au-vents
"What've you been up to?"
Tiny cheese scones
"Where are you living these days?"
Yellow crumbs on silver trays
[Verse 6]
Here comes the bride all dressed in white
Wraith-like father at her side
To the strains of "All I Have To Do Is Dream"
And a baby's bone-chilling scream
[Verse 7]
Waddling down the aisle comes a Golden Retriever
In a waistcoat and dickybow
Golden rings dangling from a length of golden string
And a thread of drool swaying to and fro
[Verse 8]
"I do, I do," words like tiny fish tossed about in a swell
Of fierce confetti and the echoing of pre-recorded bells
You hook your arm in mine and reel me gently back towards myself
But I feel nothing
[Verse 9]
The best man's speech is pretty much a bleak
Ham-fisted Powerpoint-presentation
On the groom's former life
Of depravity and degradation
[Verse 10]
The dad-dancing is in full-swing
I'm at the buffet hoovering up the last of
The corned-beef pie
I spot you chatting to some guy
[Verse 11]
I don't know who you are
Pile of sick on the bar
Polyester tie Jagerbomb
Flashing lights, laddered tights
A nasty fight, karaoke
Is it me who butchers "My Heart
Will Go On"?
[Verse 12]
Hey, let me out
Stop the car, I want to get out
Now wait, just calm down
Don't tell me to calm down
Please just calm down
I don't remember
What we're even arguing about
But I feel something
[Verse 13]
The fog hanging over
Crummock Water
Is swelling with morning and
Curlews calling
I rub the rheum from my eyes
There must be a road nearby
