lyrics

Though it's a lazy afternoon
I deign to leave my room
And risk a walk right through the park
For it's a dangerous mix of joggers
And the hacking coughs of smokers
And some poor aesthetic choices
After dark

It's the high point of my week
Watching toddlers run from geese
And the withering looks from ducks
Cos it's approaching 12 degrees
Father's nearly on his knees
We have to enjoy the outdoors
Just because
I don't love you now
Doesn't mean you need another lover
Just because I recoil at your voice
I don't want it to reach another

So now you know the truth
I'm an awful piece of work
So hey - good for you
(Please die)
