It’s been a long time
I shouldn’t have left you
Without a strong rhyme
To step to

Sorry warny, if you don’t know what song that’s from that’s your problem.

I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To give piss off the dumb few who forgave us

At the minute I’m just throwing biscuits down O’Connell Street
It’s pointless and I don’t know why I’m doing it, to be honest

I guess I should have known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn’t last

The whole first verse of Thunder Road

The screen door slams
Mary’s dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that’s me and I want you only
Don’t turn me home again
I just can’t face myself alone again
