Goldfish And Paracetamol Lyrics - Cantatonia

A dead loss, no songs 

No fun just glum 

Lying next to someone 

So don't mention the war 

Don't question where we stand 

Know where we fall 

North, south, east, where's best? 

If head left 

It turns out directionless 

And needlepoint aside 

I always find 

Embroidery leaves me blind 

Cause I'm too weary to rest 

Since I noticed - coming second best is close to ideal 

What fools boredom breeds 

So much to do 

So many goldfish to feed 

And paracetamol 

I'll take them all 

They line my stomach wall 

Cause I'm too weary to rest 

Since I noticed - coming second best is close to ideal 

With customary thirst 

I search a water glass 

But gin hits first 

Oh don't believe the hype 

Expectancy 

Will always spoil a party 

It's tourniquet by crochet 

My waters break 

Don't drive for pity's sake 

Cause I'm too weary to rest 

Since I noticed - coming second best is close to ideal
