lyrics

I’ve been slipping into my parents 80’s world
raging at the news, small town and suburban
feeling pride in an oven that is shining
I’m not slowing down with age, look, my vacuum is gliding
I felt safety in this flawed logic:
‘the world moves slowly and progressively’
when I left behind the stage
I thought these were resting days
but I have slept into a daze
and I have got to wake up

1990, my dad would drink until he slept
raging at the box when Thatcher’s face appeared on it
after he died, my brother found his private notes
fiction half complete so he could work, so we could eat
work, drink, sleep: our sad working class dream
just blame the Polish for a British mess that’s always been
and laugh at my tears, babe
it’ll hurt you just the same
I am proud to feel this shame
in everything that’s english

I can’t be that person whinging
‘been there, done that, seen it, hate that’
are you feeling old and hopeless? It’s alright
just sing that, write that, chant that, change this
