lyrics
There was a caustic man in the night
He was sitting on a pitched roof next to his flat
That’s a golden time cause he likes to daydream the past
And his curious expounding ideas never have any listeners cause he subsides his found lines.
That’s his poetry in the boxes he will hide
And the secret of this sparkle in the night
This fuddy-duddy is rising for a mill
He thought it would only be for a few weeks
And a thousand mondays later he still gets up
At 6 in the morning, that pisses him off
Then he takes a nap on the bus and clocks on at 7
His recurrent waking dream keeps him awake up.
But big boss makes him live a waking nightmare
And since a thousand mondays he would like to go away
And tonight on the roof he wants to go away
Because that’s enough and enough since a thousand mondays.
Stark, folk-derived songs built on brittle acoustic guitars that conjure the image of a fire burning in the distance on a dark night. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 8, 2022
