It's Hard to Operate a Zip When You're Burning 04:38

Kent sparkles with pollution I dream of living there The wind turbines they gesture Come home to where it's fair Where flowers bloom in circuits And life's desexualised There's hope across the Thames You just have to arrive Perhaps I'm the bad trip and you let me in Hair dye, blu tack, techno, whiteboard, full-body fishnet, dishes in the sink Solutions on the ceiling Hair dye, blu tack, techno, whiteboard, fish-body, full-net, put it in the sink Solutions on the ceiling Limp skin, clothes rail Don't know where it happened and I don't know where to start Seagulls make their choices I see them through the glass Rub anger on the wall Go home and buy a plant Multivitamin back to health Freckles float in panic Your body will shut down Good intentions elevate my skin Foreign with the price of goodbye Freckles float in panic Your body will shut down Good intentions elevate my skin Foreign with the price of good- Bye a plant and take it on the tube Cry until the toilet roll is through Someone calls out: I like your plant Me too Dishes and leaves make acquaintance The flat runs out of toilet roll My friends draw on my legs in sharpie pen I wake up and cannot get out of bed Water runs grey in the shower Water runs grey Solutions on the ceiling It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning My God looks just like yours I see it in the mirror hear a voice it's coming closer near and ripe with choice so nevermind the fish they may explode and kill my love looks just like God I feel it in the fish they kill with cause it's delicately done just like a birth so nothing will be lost except but then of course my art looks just like love I touch it with a fish and it explodes so nevermind the mystery of the curse it's only worth a song

I don’t want to be your friend I'll just carry on pretending everything is fine and I am good I don’t want to hold your hand I don't want to know your plans At the weekend At the weekend I won't cry at all At the weekend I'll be by myself And that is just fine I am just fine by myself I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm (...) Happy you are happy now I will not be sad or down Only children feel negative emotions At the weekend I won't cry I won’t cry not like last time Weekends spent in sadness are not productive Who would want to be my friend I wouldn’t want to be my friend If I were you Who would want to hold my hand I wouldn't want to hold my hand If I were you I don't want to be your friend I don’t want to hold your hand I don’t want to hear you say my name In the morning I am just fine by myself Everything is really fine_ I don’t want to hold your hand I don't want to know your plans At the weekend At the weekend I won't cry at all At the weekend I'll be by myself And that is just fine I am just fine by myself
