NOVELTY BIKE RIDE THROUGH THE SLUMS OF SPITALFIELDS THIS IS TO BE THE LAST TRACK THIS IS TO BE THE LAST SONG THIS IS TO BE THE LAST DAY LET’S MAKE IT A GOOD ONE
HEROES SURELY THE BEST POP TRACK EVER AND WE WILL DANCE WE WILL BUT FOR NOW I’M RIDING ALONE THROUGH THE SLUMS OF SPITALFIELDS I SHALL GROW A BEARD, DEFIANT YOU SAY, TROUSER TUCKED INTO SOCKS AND WAVING HANDS AT SHOPS BUY RUBICON JUICE THIS IS THE LAST DAY LET’S MAKE IT THE BEST WHERE SHOULD I BEGIN
FIRST IS GOODBYE
WHEREVER I AM I SHALL ALWAYS HAVE TO LEAVE. DARLING IT’S BEEN TOO LONG WE WILL BE DANCING IN THE STARS WE WILL BE LOVING THE STARS BUT I’M SORRY I CAN’T STAY YOU’RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME, ANYWAY
I’M ILL
(AND I CAN’T BE HERE FOREVER)
REMEMBER WHEN I WAS. REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE LITERALLY DANCING IN ELYSIUM. REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE BEST FRIENDS IN MUSIC IN LIFE IN EVERYTHING, BUT AS YOU SAY I CAN’T STAY. REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE DIFFERENT, WE LAUGHED AT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE MOST HEALTHY WAY REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE FREE. REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS EASY. WELL THAT IS CHILDHOOD I SUPPOSE, AND MAYBE I WAS JUST LUCKY TO STAY THERE SO LONG.
IT’S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE.
LIFE IS CONTINUAL READJUSTMENT, AND AS I READJUST I LOWER MY STANDARDS I CAN’T HELP IT I DO. NOW ALL I REMEMBER IS THE CUT ON HER CHIN AS WE DID COITAL AND I’M NOT PROUD TO WRITE ABOUT IT BUT THAT’S LIFE CONTINUAL READJUSTMENT. YES I WILL MOCK MYSELF AND OTHERS WILL MOCK ME BUT THAT’S LIFE. CONTINUAL READJUSTMENT.
LAST WILL NOT BE GOODBYE.
I THINK IT SHOULD BE. GOODBYE TO ALL MY FRIENDS, GOODBYE, IF NOT TO YOUR FACES THEN TO YOUR OUTSTRETCHED HANDS AS YOU REALISE I’VE LET YOU DOWN, LIKE YOU DID TO ME AND LIKE YOU WE ALWAYS WILL.
BUT LIFE IS HAPPY
LIFE IS HEALTHY
LIFE IS FUN.
