lyrics

THE EPICENTRE

WE LIVE IN THE EPICENTRE.
FIND OUR DINNER IN THE BACK OF THE FRIDGE.
WE'RE DOWN TO THE KIDS PLACENTA
AND LISTENING TO 'HERGEST RIDGE'

I'VE BEEN SLIGHTLY APATHETIC;
SHE'S LIVING IN THE GRIP OF FEAR.
BUT SH'ES NEVER LESS THAN SYMPATHETIC,
LET'S BE CLEAR.

I LEFT A NOTE WHERE SHE'LL NEVER FIND IT.
I LEFT HER HALF THE PARACETEMOL.
LEFT HER WONDERING IF SHE'D REALLY MIND
AT ALL.

OH NO
THE SUMMER'S COMING.
TWO GERMS FOR EVERYONE.
KEEP CALM
AND WATCH YOUR PLUMBING,
AND WE COULD BE OUT BEFORE SANTA COMES.

BOUGHT A TENT AND SOME BOOTS AT KNOCKDOWN.
I WANDERED OVER THE NORTH YORK MOORS.
i WALKED OUT OF MY PERSONAL LOCKDOWN
INTO YOURS.

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE COURT LEET BAILIFF
AND LISTENING OUT FOR AN 'OUT ON YE.'
I SAW THE TIDE RUN A LITTLE TOO FAST
FOR ME.

CLIMBED OVER THE FLOOD DEFENCES
POPPING BLADDERS IN THE SALTY MUCK.
I'M RELYING ON MY COMMON SENSE.
GOOD LUCK.

ON NO
THE SUMMER'S OVER.
IT'S BEEN OVER SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN.
I FEEL
A BIT HUNGOVER
AND I'LL NEVER SAY ANYTHING NICE AGAIN
HOW CAN I?

OH
I WISH YOU'D COME OVER...
