Andrewpurcellmusic - Obliviously (Cassette demo Remastered) Lyrics

I suppose I'll wear the clothes
And walk around the city
I'll pretend to be someone
And say something so witty
People hang around my words
To look for hidden meaning
I'm the one who turns them on
But inside I am bleeding
I could be the Popinjay
A rascal debonair
I could be the person who
Just looks like they don't care
Eloquent with tongue and verse
Exuding with satire
I'm the one who can't go wrong
The one you all admire

Instead I am without brain
And thick without a clue
If you ask me hard questions
I don't know what to do
I've got brains that make me tick
On automatic pilot
If I had to think to breathe
I'd forget and expire
Am I happy as I am
An answer is required
Do you think I could care less
I can't cause I'm retired
Every two weeks
Spent on drink
And I am not desired
Only by the corner shop
When I buy my cheap cider

Walking death wish
Pancreas
My liver is on fire
I had brains they're down the drain
And vomit came out after
Cigarettes burn brown stains
In my fingers till they blister
Casualty a home to me
My stomach expands wider
Waking up another fit
More drink is my desire
All I've got is addiction
And jaundice is my colour
When I die who'll say good bye
Don't leave me here to suffer
You say that I've brought this on
I've no choice in this matter

Alcohol my wife
Alcohol my life
Alcohol bereft
Alcohol my death
It never used to
Be this way
But I can't cope from
Day to day
It never used to
Be this way
But I can't cope from
Day to day

Alcohol my wife
Alcohol my life
Alcohol bereft
Alcohol my death
It never used to
Be this way
But I can't cope from
Day to day
It never used to
Be this way
But I can't cope from
Day to day
It never used to
Be this way
But I can't cope from
Day to day
It never used to
Be this way
But I can't cope from
Day to day
