lyrics

What a super job I used to seem to make of sleep
Now a demon keeps me awake, it's called caffeine
And where you traipse and make your mistakes, there's nothing so quaint as joy
Just a concrete castle of cynical heat, with tramps deployed
When their doe-eyed rippled faces beseech, they ask for a hopeless cure
Cos what's your lonely pound but a piss in a sea of poor?
Still the people here seem proud of their town, they'd have to be
Cos if they weren't, they might have to work to make it clean

If variety's the spice, familiarity's the rice
You need a bit of each in your life

To a bent-backed crone I must look brand new, as if I'm as yet unsold
But it's love, not age, that's the measure of youth, and I feel old
Muted, dumbstruck, keeping yourself to yourself, and never healing
Silence is not golden, it's just routine

If variety's the spice, familiarity's the rice
You need a few more treats in your life
