Living in a bedsit
|
Close to the world's end,
|
Sitting in his y-fronts
|
Sponging off his girlfriend Ca-arey
|
She says life's right there babe
|
Should be getting on with it
|
[?] better tell her that you've all but squandered it
|
It's silly
|
|
And his relatives all think that it's a shame (a shame)
|
And they'd say that it was a mystery if his Dad wasn't exactly the same
|
The same
|
|
He's been a space cadet for years
|
Says one day he'll be an astronaut
|
Floating in the hemisphere
|
And looking down on Hampton Court
|
But he's always late
|
And knows one day he'll graduate
|
Then he'll be floating in the ozone
|
High above the empire
|
High above the empire
|
State state state
|
He's living in a
|
State state state
|
He's in a proper
|
State state state
|
They've got him in a
|
State state state
|
|
Sofa surfer, likes a little gamble
|
A few dodgy debts that he says he can handle
|
Maybe
|
Never not [?]
|
Stays in most nights
|
Jostling to pixelated princesses on websites
|
Frantically
|
|
And his family all say that it's a waste (a waste)
|
And they wash their mouths out with self-righteousness
|
To hide the bitter taste
|
The taste
|
|
He's been a space cadet for years
|
Says one day he'll be an astronaut
|
Floating in the hemisphere
|
And looking down on Hampton Court
|
But he's always late
|
And knows one day he'll graduate
|
Then he'll be floating in the ozone
|
High above the empire
|
High above the empire
|
|
Carey's love is cold and congealed
|
Like last night's take-away
|
And she feels
|
She might have to do some kind
|
Of midnight flit
|
All there is to say has been said
|
And as the sky's turning pink
|
She leaves her keys by the sink
|
And takes one last look at our hero's face
|
|
He's been a space cadet for years
|
Says one day he'll be an astronaut
|
Floating in the hemisphere
|
And looking down on Hampton Court
|
But he's always late
|
And knows one day he'll graduate
|
Then he'll be floating in the ozone
|
High above the empire
|
High above the empire
|
High above the empire state
|
|
Oh oh la la la la [x3]
|
|
Now life goes on
|
It will be played out
|
But something's s'posed to happen man before the fade out
|
[x3]
|
Before the fade out [x5 ]
