I've been taking my time for a
|
long time
|
Putting my feet up all odds
|
Speaking English as a foreign
|
language
|
Any words that I haven't forgot
|
I've been thinking how I can't
|
be bothered
|
To wash the dishes or remake the
|
bed
|
What's the point when I could
|
just instead
|
I've been hanging as a fairy
|
trif raf
|
Somewhere along the go hobrose
|
I don't think it's gonna be
|
much longer
|
So I know they're up harlequin
|
old codes
|
Love is a bourgeois construct
|
So I've given up on the
|
bourgeoisie
|
Like all their aspirations it's
|
a fantasy
|
When you walked out you did me a
|
favor
|
You made me see reality
|
This love is a bourgeois construct
|
It's a blame turn to fallacy
|
You won't see me with a bunch
|
of losers
|
Promising fatality
|
Love doesn't mean a thing to me
|
Talking tough as we linger
|
We're better now it's clear
|
to me
|
Love is a bourgeois construct
|
So I've given up on the
|
bourgeoisie
|
While we're anchored forget the
|
voices
|
I'll just get along with what
|
I've got
|
Watching the weeds in the garden
|
Putting my fear upon odds
|
I'll explore the outer limits
|
of boredom
|
Moaning periodically
|
Drift a far time lonely lay about
|
That's me
|
When you walked out you did me a
|
favor
|
It's absolutely clear to me
|
That love is a bourgeois construct
|
Just like they said at university
|
I’ve been taking my time for a
|
long time
|
With all the shadow and forever
|
its cost
|
Calculating what you've lost
|
Now I'm digging through my
|
student paper bags
|
Flicking through Karl Marx again
|
Searching for the soul of England
|
Drinking tea like Tony Benn
|
Love is just a bourgeois construct
|
So give it up the bourgeoisie
|
Until you come back to me
|
Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
|
Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
|
Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
|
Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
|
Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
|
Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
|
Talking tough and feeling bitter
|
We're better now it's clear
|
to me
|
That love is a bourgeois construct
|
So I've given up the bourgeoisie
|
