Goldfish And Paracetamol Lyrics - Singles - Catatonia

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 or where we fall 

North, south, east where's best? 

If I head left, it turns out directionless 

And needle point 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 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, I 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
