lyrics

Wake up on that hardboard floor. It’s time to act, to want for more.

Well I see that’s an open house one for all, but everybody’s out.
It’s just you. Ooohhhh

You got a creak in your third doorstep,
broken pride, mixed with willful neglect.
But this says it all. Ooohhhh.

So you watch it from the top of ceiling
and you watch it break through
and you watch it break down oh no.
But you never checked the date
and now its way than more too late. Oh dear.

Well out of ten it’s a heart attack.
That moment’s over and that feeling’s back.
Coming for youooohhhh.

Mix and match the colours of your choice,
combination that gives you your voice.
But it’s nothing. Ooohhhh.

So you write it on a piece of parchment
that you held for your plan
that you held in your hand oh no.
But you never checked the date
and now its way than more too late. Oh dear.

And they’ll wait, and they’ll wait, and they’ll wait for you.
And they’ll throw, and they’ll drink, and make noise for you.
And they’ll dance, and they’ll forget your name for you.

Wake up on that hardboard floor. It’s time to act, to want for more.

So arrive yourself at the train station
and please have some patience.
Please stop prod and pacing oh no.
Don’t be overly concerned with what you have and have not earned. It’s not a game of chance but an even song and dance.

It’s a trust you must not get caught up in all that’s boom and bust. (Wake up on the hardboard floor, it’s time to want for more.)
It’s merely wanderlust that you cannot completely trust.
(It’s time to want for more.)
The fray and disarray, and heartless acts throughout the day.
(Wake up on the hardboard floor, it’s time to want for more.)
That feeling that you crave is simply molded up like clay ohhh.
(It’s time to want for more.)
