Beached Whale (4-Track Demo)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A morbid fascination with all things inextreme Municipal thought has [?], it seems It's early in the morning, I've given up on sleep I'm in need of attention, but all I hear is my heartbeat [Chorus] What a shame, what a shame, what a terrible shame A terminal standard has left us the same "I need someone who's here", she said, "and you're never here" Staying one step ahead [Verse 2] The inner city flora, that grows around my feet I never really noticed if conversion complete I'm in perpetual fear of being swallowed whole They're pushed up in the suburbs in the stomach of a whale A beached whale [Chorus] What a shame, what a shame, what a terrible shame A terminal standard has left us the same "I need someone who's here", she said, "and you're never here" Staying one step ahead Staying one step ahead [Verse 3] Domestic desperations begin to stare at me I bought it for displaying some respectability Pictures of the present are the pictures of the past They put me in a room and watch me behind the plate glass [Chorus] What a shame, what a shame, what a terrible shame A terminal standard has left us the same "I need someone who's here", she said, "and you're never here" Staying one step ahead What a shame, what a shame, what a terrible shame A terminal standard has left us the same "I need someone who's here", she said, "and you're never here" Staying one step ahead [Outro] Ahead, ahead, ahead Okay
