lyrics

Living in a bedsit
Close to the World's End,
Sitting in his Y-fronts
Sponging off his girlfriend
Kerry
She says life's right there babe
Should be getting on with it
Had a bit of talent
Now you've all but squandered it
It's silly
And his relatives all think that it's a shame
And they'd say that it was a mystery
If his Dad wasn't exactly the same

CHORUS
He's been a space cadet for years
Says one day he'll be an astronaut
Floating in the hemisphere
And looking down on Hampton Court
But he's always late
Knows one day he'll graduate
Then he'll be floating in the ozone
High above the empire
High above the empire

State state state
He's living in a
State state state
He's in a proper
State state state
They've got him in a
State state state

Sofa surfer
Likes a little gamble
A few dodgy debts
That he says he can handle
Maybe
Never not brassic
Stays in most nights
Jostling to pixelated princesses on websites
Frantically
And his family all say that it's a waste
And they wash their mouths out
With self-righteousness
To hide the bitter taste

CHORUS

Kerry’s love is cold and congealed
Like last night's take-away
And she feels
She might have to do some kind
Of midnight flit
All there is to say has been said
And as the sky's turning pink
She leaves her keys by the sink
And takes one last look at our hero's face

CHORUS

Life goes on
It will be played out
But something's s'posed to happen man
Before the fade out
