Or "How I learned to stop worrying and love self-loathing and pop-culture references"
lyrics
It suddenly occurred to me
That I’ve been struggling recently
To force myself to get out of bed at all
And the only real relationships I’ve had
In the past five years
Have been with loneliness and alcohol
Sitting zoned out playing Streets of Rage all day
Jeff Stelling tells me that my coupon’s been fucked again
By Sheffield Wednesday
And I'm all wound up in my feral thoughts and apathy
And this gradual but steady detachment
Is what’s really killing me
It seems it’s my own fault that things don't go my way
And I now can't go to the gig tonight
'Cos I got kicked out of The Bay
Smoking more cigarettes than Don Draper now
But it’s not enough
And I’m fast becoming adept in the art of fucking up
*Blazing guitar solo for the ladies*
This sense of complete utmost senselessness
Should really bother me
But I'm completely indifferent
