lyrics
There's nothing left, your minds bereft of anything besides TV.
You said I can't play guitar, that I won't get far. But if you don't come to my show well then I guess you'll never know.
Maybe the records won't sell and we'll go to hell. But your integrity's in tatters, Facebook fans are all that matters.
I drink cheap red wine, I find two bottles are fine. It's two for five, my life's a dive but it's all that keeps me alive.
Carpe diem my friend, here we go again.
Carpe diem my friend, here we go again.
You want fifteen minutes of fame.
On my tombstone it may say. Andy Warhol was a whore but me?
I wanna be Bukowski.
So where the cool kids go I just don't want to know. But for the privilege of their tracks iTunes will never pay them back.
They'll all sell out quick for a couple of quid. Or try to get themselves sucked off by an old ex-x-factor kid.
His mother bought him a Jag, claims he loves Black Flag. And do you play the surf guitar, of course you must be Jonny Marr.
I can't afford to eat with the habits I keep but I tell you I couldn't care less you got no grasp on success.
Chorus.
I couldn't pay the door, I'm too fucking poor. The took my bottle of gin and said I couldn't take it in.
I crashed my BM3 through a wall and a tree but the only tragedy is that I lost some good cd's.
But the grin sets in as the drinking begins, you won't be winning til you're losing, satisfaction isn't choosing.
I'm glad you'll never be me, I don't want you to see. But if you want it you can get it and we'll call it our disease.
