A new game scrapping my life It was you out back with a butter knife Who took my parts, buried 'em with the dog Not great, but what did I think That a bouncy castle Catholic could give to me But a little wine and God? So I'm working on a wreckage With nothing there to salvage Oh, I'm just taking photos For my book about the damage and Some have called me cheap But it's not that fucking deep Like, what's left for me but poetry And getting really old? I'm heading to California Don't say I didn't warn you I'm milking what I can from this grief I'm heading to California Don't say I didn't warn you I'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave A cold call to get me out Of your big boys' starving artist's house But you drove me there and opened up the doors Now I trade in English, dear My nanny's nanny's nanny's fears Are living here along with all of yours, oh, yeah Whinging like a woman is Hedging on what's coming 'Cause everybody likes me When my pain is in a sonnet And you can call me cheap But you did this shit to me Made me brilliant, you fucked me up And I'm reaping what you've sown I'm heading to California Don't say I didn't warn you I'm milking what I can from this grief I'm heading to California Don't say I didn't warn you I'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave I'm heading to California Don't say I didn't warn you I'm finishing the hat like we agreed I'm heading to California I wonder, is it torture Harvesting all this misery? California, oh-woah California, oh-woah California, oh-woah (I'm writing up a book about us) California, oh-woah (They're gonna make a movie of it) California, oh-woah (They're gonna cast Jake Gyllenhaal) California, oh-woah (And I'm Kristen Schaal) California, oh-woah (They're gonna do it with a Coen brother) California, oh-woah (Set it in Wicklow with your mother) California, oh-woah (Oh no, it won a Razzie) California, oh-woah (It's all for nothing, should've just tried being happy)
I give my sleep, hair's off my head Fillet of a 7Up Need to raise Cassandra from the dead I'm godless, but I got a hunch A weird drink in the fridge, a late night in the gym We'll probably get in and not even see each other New word that you use, a faint scuff of the shoes It's not much, but I know, then you say "Cass, you're a liar and worse The kind of woman who hurts Just stick it in and quit the questioning" Aw, how can I figure it out? Becky Vardy's account I went for dinner with her yesterday Phone me, baby, phone me I'm crazy, but I'm never wrong Phone mе, baby, phone me Does my affliction turn you on? Shе finds no proof, I feel so weak Uh, because I couldn't do Every little thing you asked of me Like every girl before me too Another drink in the fridge, really late nights in the gym We'll probably get in and not even see each other Another word that you use, a big scuff on the shoes It's not much but I know, I know Aw, I bet you'd buy me a horse Made of wood, and of course I'd know what's up and keep it anyways Oh, I wish that I was the man I could know who I am Have control again and better days Phone me, baby, phone me I'm crazy, but I'm never wrong Phone me, baby, phone me Does my affliction turn you on? Phone me, baby, phone me I'm crazy, but I'm never wrong Phone me, baby, phone me Does my affliction turn you on? Turn you on
She's got a wicked way of getting what she wants from me Involving personality tests she sends to mine She's always checking up, asking if my jeans fit comfortably And letting me know she remembers all our time She's got a wicked way of acting like St. Anthony I've lost so much I hope that she's not keeping tabs I've tried to leave her, but she keeps on coming after me And I'll need her there when things go really bad I was crazy back then And I'm crazy right now And they're both in my bed I've got a wicked way of hating my own company She's not too bad, but got me in trouble way back when Watch sixteen hours straight of the Gilmore Girls quite comfortably I was crazy back then Cut all my hair off trying to look like Vincent Kompany Tied it together so I could tape it to the wall And posted pictures hoping my friends would fall in love with me I'm not crazy at all Bit of shame, bit of arrogance to put ourselves down Bit of Catherine of Aragon the way she sticks around But she don't lose her head over nothin' I'm rushing past someone so fast that's waited patiently Every morning in the bathroom at my feet I recognise her from a list of scary anecdotes And a picture that you said was of me

Parties I used to love to party in the old days Heartbeat I used to have one of them too Now I find I've picked up problems From loves of mine who swear they ain't got 'em Everything fun falls apart and leaves me here Mourning No one at this party knows I'm mourning Nineteen Or anyone that wasn't self aware I walk to fill my glass with ice And I watch myself from an aerial height Everything fun falls apart and leaves me here Licking my lips and doing crimes It was over in a minute by quartеr to nine Where еverything lost was gained in time But where are your kids tonight? Shaking my hips and cutting lines Feels a little passé now, shoulda cherished my wine and All of those friends who I thought were fine Oh, where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight? Lonely I didn't know good choices make you lonely And bad ones Bad ones only make you disappear I think it's time I choose the latter 'Cause nothing lasts, so nothing matters Everything good falls apart and leaves me here Licking my lips and doing crimes It was over in a minute by quarter to nine Where everything lost was gained in time But where are your kids tonight? Shaking my hips and cutting lines Feels a little passé now, shoulda cherished my wine and All of those friends who I thought were fine Oh, where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight? I can feel it slip away That last sweet shred of stupidness My mommy's old mistakes Are losing their elusiveness It's 1988 I can see her I can hear her Singing Licking my lips and doing crimes It was over in a minute by quarter to nine Where everything lost was gained in time But where are your kids tonight? Shaking my hips and cutting lines Feels a little passé now, shoulda cherished my wine and All of those friends who I thought were fine Oh, where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight? Oh, where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight? Oh, where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight? Oh, where are your kids tonight? Where are your kids tonight?
My "gone fishing" alibi You won't see me 'til Wednesday But I'm fine No, really, I'm fine Like a teenage Frankenstein My head's a mess but from the neck down I'm fine I'm actually fine You say I'm too dependent, what did you expect An independent lady with a plethora of friends? You found me in the gutter, the best that you could find Excuse me if I'm difficult, I can't make up my mind I'm your hunky dory, I miss you all the time I'm busy and I can't make up my mind And I've the constitution of lemon and lime I'm fizzy and I can't make up my mind Ooh, yeah-yeah, woo Step right up and see the girls The penny arcade's calling me I'm cool No, really, I'm cool I get distracted, you pissed off Funny, 'cause thought that you Were cool Are ya really that cool? I'm a lighthouse keeper, I break the bulb for fun I never see the pain I cause, I've never seen the sun But you love the attention that I give to you I'm sorry, you're responsible that I can't make up my mind I'm your hunky dory, I miss you all the time I'm busy and I can't make up my mind And I've the constitution of lemon and lime I'm fizzy and I can't make up my— I want you I think I do It's hard to know My mind just goes Off on my phone See what comes next Push the middle button, keep it coming I'll be forty-seven with no luck I'm your hunky dory, I miss you all the time I'm busy and I can't make up my mind And I've the constitution of lemon and lime I'm fizzy and I can't make up my mind Overboard and swimming, throw this klutz a line I'm dizzy and I can't make up my mind And I'm the queen of England drinking baby's wine I'm Lizzy and I can't make up my Can't make up my Can't make up my Can't make up my mind, yeah

Smoke on the patio, just watching videos Can't pay attention, I can see what's happening Can't find the recipe for who we used to be Kiss like you mean it in the pub, come back to me But I think your heart is gone, I guess I'm never wrong I made a joke of it our first week See, I warned you We weren't going to Be torn apart in any other way Torn apart in any other way Knew you were bad for me, fulfilled a prophecy That I created 'cause I wanted some attention But you bought takеaways and gave me bettеr days I'm watching friends like, "Oh my God, what have I done?" Wish you were part of me, 'cause I need a family But here I am again on square one See, I warned you We weren't going to Be torn apart in any other way Torn apart in any other way It's no use, I'm too much And you're nothing to me but a rusted crutch-utch-utch No wrapped in dressing gowns, no, curled up on your couch It started ending on our first week See, I warned you We weren't going to Be torn apart in any other way Torn apart in any other way See, I warned you That we weren't going to Be torn apart in any other way Torn apart in any other way

One hundred bright green birds atop a Tesco in Clapham Me on you, it didn't make sense, but it happened Now I'm flying home just like I always do Back to business and far away from you Oh, what are we like? You cracked an egg into my mouth, had me over to your house Fucked your friends and fucked me out Oh, what am I like? I waited time and time again, always pecking like a hen That isn't fed, that isn't fed So have fun, ooh, have fun Ooh, have fun, ooh, have fun 'Cause I'm done, I-I'm done, I-I'm done Five hundrеd and ten quid before bills out my pursе Dublin back then was cheap, but it's never been worse I gave you all I had 'cause I believed in nests Huh, silly bitch, woo You shoulda spent it on yourself But that's what I'm like I stick my neck right out for love Give my beak and give my blood Only part of me, that's good Oh, what are you like? You did me wrong and lost out I'd wonder what you're up to now But I don't care, I don't care So have fun, ooh, have fun Ooh, have fun, ooh, have fun 'Cause I'm done, I-I'm done, I-I'm done One hundred bright green birds One hundred bright green birds I think Jimi Hendrix, let him in I think Humphrey Bogart, let him in I think, I don't care who, let 'em in I think, I don't care, I don't care
