(afternoon) Soaps Lyrics - Arab Strap

Sit by me silently and brush my beard 

No mess to mop up from the bed today 

Will we sit next door and watch the soaps? 

We've nothing to do and we've nothing to say 

Oh, when you go 

Recently, we've been somewhat volatile 

And last night it starts with that Joan Osbourne song 

I hate it anyway but you made it worse 

I know why you laughed and you should know you were wrong 

Oh, when you go 

Bird number one taught me I shouldn't trust 

That's why I find unfounded doubts abound 

But number two proved that with none, we've nothing 

And now I'm only happy when you're not around 

Oh, when you go
