I am so tired I am still half asleep But I need money To pay the bills and eat This light's unnatural It's making my head ache I grab a tea In my allotted break Another phone call Another meeting booked Two hour train ride Life's being overlooked Mild panic I hope that goes away I cannot wait Until it's Saturday Slow death Slow death By fluorescent lighting Slow death Slow death By fluorescent lighting Tell me again What am I doing? I'm just a mug That's tired of waiting I can't afford To take some time off work I am not in charge I am not Captain Kirk These lights are doing my fucking head in These lights are doing my fucking head in Give me a window Give me a view I need some daylight I need some blue sky Slow death Slow death By fluorescent lighting Slow death Slow death By fluorescent lighting They say They say They say They say It's going to be replaced by LED How fancy Slow death Slow death By fluorescent lighting Slow death Slow death By fluorescent lighting They say They say They say They say It's going to be replaced by LED

I just got here And I can't think Just need to sit Just need to drink It's not so easy for me to unwind No talk No thought No light Not even sound Glimpses into the never When I'm staring into space Silence that lasts forever Zoned out Embrace I'm not angry And not a bit moody I've just had a day I don't need to prove it You've had a day too I'll make you some dinner We bath We laugh It makes everything better Glimpses into the never When I'm staring into space Silence that lasts forever Zoned out Embrace Yeah I see the meaning of it It all makes sense I just needed a minute To relax Glimpses into the never When I'm staring into space Silence that lasts forever Zoned out Embrace Glimpses into the never When I'm staring into space Silence that lasts forever Zoned out Embrace Yeah I see the meaning of it It all makes sense I just needed a minute To relax

Sixteen and knew it all Didn't know anything I was all swagger and premature ejaculations Knock knock Is this a joke? No son, the joke's on you You got the looks But you ain't got the fucking brains All I ever dreamed of Hiding in the books Escaping the suburbs Falling in love And being stupid All I ever dreamed of Hiding in the books Escaping the suburbs Falling in love And being stupid Our aim was terrible Didn't give it our all We were all swagger and premature ejaculations So so was my review We didn't have a clue And faded out Too slowly to move on again All I ever dreamed of Hiding in the books Escaping the suburbs Falling in love And being stupid All I ever dreamed of Hiding in the books Escaping the suburbs Falling in love And being stupid And being fucking stupid And being fucking strange All I ever dreamed of Hiding in the books Escaping the suburbs Falling in love And being stupid All I ever dreamed of Hiding in the books Escaping the suburbs Falling in love And being stupid
