Lyrics

Star City

I got a temporary situation
Living on the cheaper side of town
I thought about living in Star City
But I just don't get things done
I just never ever get done

I wake up every morning to a fog horn
the sound of breaking backs and rusty chains
so eat a wormy biscuit put my boots on
and wonder who the hell I’m gonna blame
I’ll find out soon enough and take his name.

but no-one seems to want to take my offer
responsibility’s a heavy weight
so thinking I should go and see my doctor
I lie a little just to keep him sweet
I lie a little just to get my treat.

That’s how I ended up with all this linen
cleaner than it ever needs to be
the nurses here are really quite appealing
except the one who meds me up at tea
but I’m honest I don't think that he likes me

but now I’m living on this desert island
and no-one seems to notice that I’m free
although it’s kind off strange and disconcerting
there’s always someone here to bring me tea
and God believes in someone but not me
Yeah God believes in someone but not me

I thought I had a reason to be cheerful
Thought I had reason to be glad
Seems it wasn't just this medication
really it’s the world that makes me sad
really it’s the world that makes me sad
funny fucking world is going mad
