The Dead Relative
I’ve got my dead relatives on my fingers, I can’t afford my friends
I’ll think about them maybe once or twice, but generally I’ve got to leave those bones behind
You’re right I have seen you before, but you’re not the one I’m looking for
There’s this girl I know and she’s okay, there’s this guy as well he’s much the same
Have you ever seen a sky like this? When’s the last time you tried?
There are plenty of people here, there are so many eyes
You’ve got it, you’ve got it bad
So enjoy the times you’ve had
Me and you, us and them
The fat cows and the man prats are my best friends in this world
When they’re not there I go to speak and only god knows, I don’t make a sound
But I guess it’s all a little different now, our gestures are awkward and quaint
Be sure the brawls and baby scares, My friends, they’re here to stay
You’ve got it, you’ve got it bad
So enjoy the times you’ve had
Me and you, us and them
Of the circles that we move in the mathematics aren’t correct
But there’s an angel here among us that scientists did not detect
You are the light of my life
You are the light of my life
You are the light of my life
That’s why I cannot wear you
My love I’ve got to spare you
So shine
