2003 : Brave

“BRAVE” 11 Aug 2003

I sit on my sofa,
King of all I survey
A broken television
And too many CD’s
Fill myself with anything
To take the world away

Fear and loafing in Tooting Bec
I might look great
But the engine’s a total wreck
I’m nothing without my neurosis
No future, The Sex Pistols said
Kurt Cobain lost his head
My credit cards bust
Do you take cheques?

I know, I’m drunk, because you’re gone
From a distance it might look like fun
I think I’m drinking to forget
From a distance is the nearest you’ll get
Then I remember I’m not drunk enough yet
I know, I won’t let anyone near
Paralysed, alone with fear
But George Best is the best I can get

You know I’m just a drunk for you
And only the brave dare to fall in love.

I need a shave
My hairs a mess
It’s all gone to pot
Since you left
I gave you everything
And then some more

Now I’m left with nothing
Angry and ignored
If I could sing, I’d have a voice
Self-pity’s my drug of choice
I can quit anytime I like
I’m addicted to not being alone
I can’t find happiness in any hole
All pleasure is a sin
When you’re trying to change

I’m like the Berlin Wall
People take pictures as they watch my fall
At least I’ll make the news
OK, Hello, will all run shots of me
Tourists will buy copies of Heat
Shift some units for Imap
Hooray because my life’s collapsed
Better get a reporter over there.

You know I’m just a drunk for you
And only the brave dare to fall in love.

It’s not enough.
Only the brave fall in love.
