Instant Coffee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Early retirement's killing me slow Sliding down that long plateau I sold my TV and my stereo But it won't last very long I got no postman getting me high Top shelf- gotta say goodbye Stone broke and starry eyed But I know what's going wrong [Verse 2] I wanna see you, meet at the pub Not in the bistro, I'm sitting out the front With a bottle and a smile and a "What do you want?" Gonna sit here for a while [Chorus] I'm back on instant coffee No fancy dinners for me I've got the secret And I'm living out my life happily I'm back on instant coffee Still get my good times for free I'm in the gutter And I'm living like exiled royalty [Verse 3] And if you see me, don't pass me by Yeah, I remember that look in your eye There by the grace of your 9 to fuckin' 5 Yeah, and I've got a plan and I'm doing alright Got a teaspoon and a smile [Chorus] I'm back on instant coffee No fancy dinners for me I've got the secret And I'm living out my life happily I'm back on instant coffee Still get my good times for free I'm in the gutter And I'm living like exiled royalty [Outro] I'm back on instant coffee (I'm back on instant coffee) I'm back on instant coffee (I'm back on instant coffee) I'm in the gutter and I'm living like exiled royalty I'm in the gutter and I'm living like exiled royalty
