so what if I can't move at all, let alone on?
I've never been one for the gym, unless you count lifting things to my chin and down again
so i'm the queen of sheba when i'm 3 in?
who's it hurt to let me think that i'm truth coming out of her well
even if i'm just some wet bitch?
but why should I have to find a better man now you can just be one?
so what I wear hairshirts to arguments?
so I don't mind a drink?
high time -you- decided to join the temperance league!
so I like feeling wronged and I like gin?
would it kill you to let me think that i'm truth coming out of her well
even when i'm just some wet bitch?
i'll pour one out for you, cheers and beers to us!
but why should I have to find a better man when you could just be one?

wasn’t trying to start shit
was never trying to start shit
but you try being this thin and dry in this heat
without catching alight
looking up at you from earth, burning out before you hit
to think i thought things that spring eternally couldn’t be sprung on me
to think i thought i’d lock a standing army out with a front door key
but that’s why it goes in the jar
was caliburnus found weeping
at being thrown underarm back in the deep end?
no: she had no-one to impress, only arthur did
to think i thought things that spring eternally couldn’t be sprung on me
something even a king of gods couldn't solve, made a woman take care of
but that's why it goes in the jar
if you want to ~find yourself~
go find yourself

rosie i appreciate you coming round, really! although no-one enjoys being found this prickly and unshowered, where were you though when i needed help to be more than an also-ran? y
ou'd say "grow a pair garn go make his day: cop a pie, a passiona and a lik-m-aid, and ask him if he'd like to share. after all, you only get one year 8 swimming carnival"
but rose: my untook shots, my un-shat-in pots, my couch with cellophane still on, the blockades that i would've run were i made of harder stuff
made like you, of harder stuff
she's a big girl and she would have gotten over it
he's an even bigger boy, he would've lived.
or he wouldn't have but does it matter if history remembers winners and forgives?
and yeah, it would have kept me up at night, but so does everything, so wheres the sacrifice:
for someone who looks at me like i'm christmas morning
instead of someone who looks at me like i'm christ?
rose, my untook shots
my un-shat-in pots
my rows of GI joes still in the box
the rules i'd have the guts to flout
were i made of harder stuff
than gold,
made of harder stuff

i took a sudden dislike to the suite
thought of how ugly it'd be in the morning
an an old ironing board some blue and yellow light showing off the worst of me
all the restraint and mess of an upended box of marbles
have you thought
why not try
being normal
keep all your bad weather words: "fervent" and "ardent", "torrid" and "tempestuous", who farted?
come on out, i'm fine and 29: the kind of day you'd find too mild to notice*
dinner at eight to phone call, baby star to last year's model
have you thought, why don't you try: being normal
I took the L man
like a good sport, on the chin
I took my own cab
what the hell man?
*written age 31 but didn't rhyme lol

now i've all this time
i've time for the small, sensible things:
i lay tomorrow's clothes out tonight, i peel eggs over the bin
now i've all this time
i've time to remember all the small, sentimental things:
the wet moss and carwash smell of your street on sunday evenings
and now i've all this time, there's no such thing as spare but now i've all this time, you'd think i'd make some for another man
to wait on with my "what can i get you?"
with my "are you done?"
to wait on me with my "are you watching?"
with my "i'll have another one"
