Sunglasses (Live from the Queen Elizabeth Hall)

Lyrics

[Part 1] [Intro] Welcome to the best new six-part Danish crime drama She steams herself in marble rooms, courtesy of Pig I lose myself in the light of the TV, courtesy of her father She buys everything that glows gold in the kitchen larder [Verse 1] Mother is juicing watermelons on the breakfast island With frail hands she grips the NutriBullet The bite of its blades reminds me of a future that I am in no way part of And in a wall of photographs In the downstairs second living room's TV area I bеcome her father Complain of mеdiocre theatre in the daytime And ice in single malt whiskey at night Of rising skirt hems, lowering IQs And things just aren't built like they used to be The absolute pinnacle of British engineering [Refrain] I am so ignorant now, with all that I've learnt I am so ignorant now, with all that I learnt I am so ignorant now, with all that I've learnt I am so ignorant now, with all that I've learnt I am so ignorant now [Part 2] [Verse 2] I sang you all a song With sunglasses on I was the Fonz, I was the Jack of Hearts And you were all looking at me And you could not tell I was so much less than the sum of my parts I learnt the words, and God, did I sing it well All the kids dressing up like Richard Hell Still locked away, sunglasses on [Instrumental Outro]
