Coffee Table
I've been dropped by my record label
and now my work will never make it to your coffee table
I'm all washed up with nowhere to go
so I'm just going to sit here and let my stubble grow
Crying into my lager-top
How can The Charlatans be big when I am not?
When I've got so much to say, I've got so much to say
I've got so much to say, yeah
Is the Dublin Castle around here somewhere?
First right ta, would you like a flyer?
My band's supporting Anal Beard and Dirty Sandwich tonight
What are we like? well....
We're pop noir, pop noir, angular (x4)
Now I've been dropped by my record label
I fear my work will never make it to your coffee table
All washed up with no place to go
I'm going to sit here and let my beard grow
Crying into my Guinness slops
How come Tim Burgess is big and on Top Of The Pops
When I've got so much to say, so much to say
I've got so much to say, yeah
So it's second on the right then? ah ok first, thanks
Would your mate like a flyer? oh she's not with you
As I was saying it's sort of a sonic Flying Lizards meets John Foxx's lighter moments, though my bird thinks we sound like that band off that film The Commitments, women eh, we're
Pop noir, pop noir, angular (x4)
and after my gigs I always ask my mates what they thought....
ah cheers,
Thanks,
Cool,
Ta Nige,
Yeah,
Nice one,
Fosters please....
Dropped by my record label
My work seems never destined for your coffee table
All washed up, nowhere to go
Just going to sit here and grow a crazy beard
Crying into another beer you bought me
these tumbleweed years have just not taught me
I've got nothing to say, nothing to say,
nothing to say, yeah
I'm just here to see my mates band actually, don't know the name but I should be on the guest list. You know me, come on man don't you know who I am? My band supported Transvision Vamp back in the day and I went out with Lindy Brill once, I'm
Pop noir, pop noir, angular (x4)
Bugger I've missed my last train now, anyway as I was saying Charlotte Hatherley was at one of our gigs once, I asked her what she thought, some interesting chord changes she said, nice girl. what? no I haven't got a pound mate, what you don't work here? well that was a waste of four minutes. I'm off to the Good Mixer, might catch last orders, see if Charlie Harpers there, he owes me about ten hundred beers.
