[00:01.28]I'm all alone, this is a holiday
[00:08.29]Some bloody holiday
[00:12.40]My friends have gone away
[00:17.64]They're of the temporary sort, I think
[00:25.32]I will be better without
[00:29.50]As long as you let me out
[00:36.64]To taste the air beside the river
[00:42.58]I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care
[00:53.10]Such a lot rests upon it
[00:57.14]My life upon a song
[01:02.15]You don't know how much I need
[01:07.76]Musician, please take heed
[01:16.86]
[01:24.23]I thought I might just write a letter
[01:29.16]Anything to stay away
[01:32.59]From books and lessons today
[01:37.35]Besides it's part of my induction
[01:41.39]Into the literate world
[01:45.40]I am a literate girl
[01:50.29]I string the words together softly
[01:55.09]I lay my love upon you with each line
[02:03.18]A gift of improvising
[02:06.42]Removes me from revising
[02:09.75]I made a daisy chain from
[02:12.83]Phrase, verse, and punctuation
[02:15.93]I'll kick this mood off with a change of scene
[02:22.50]I bought a leotard and go to the gym
[02:29.06]I couldn't get away with wearing it last summer
[02:36.22]But I lost a lot of weight
[02:39.21]I think it's down to leaving meat out of my diet as a rule
[02:46.62]I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel
[02:51.13]
[02:49.97]And if the nighttime threatens me with pain
[02:56.38]I will give in to lust
[02:58.89]I will do what I must
[03:02.52]I've got a number of a girl I know
[03:08.28]Who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans
[03:16.16]I'll take a dose, I don't mind trying
[03:20.83]She lets me stay there while I leave the ground
[03:30.08]Old episodes of Minder
[03:33.24]I snuggle up beside her
[03:38.06]Think that I'll stay til morning
[03:43.64]She's got me started yawning
[03:53.90]
