lyrics
In town in the sleet but I’m not fussed
At least shit weather keeps away the buskers
Might fall apart with no script to use
What can I say, I’ve got trust issues
Sorry for before mentioning weather in a song
Nowt against it really, I just thing its been done
I’ll skip over any more mentions of the rain
Even though its probably a good metaphor for something
I find I need to compete
I need a bigger story
I find I need to compete
Cos everything’s a big deal these days
I find I need to compete
We all need the biggest story
I find I need to compete with everybody
I mention mood swings but I’m really quite static
I was just being dramatic
No burning desires or toys in the attic
I was just being dramatic
I said my week had been erratic
I was just being dramatic
Its just self defence
Its automatic
I was just being dramatic
I was hassled by a man in The Land of Green Ginger
He called me some names and he prodded a finger
Wasn’t a big deal but I dragged out the story
A good way of getting some sympathy maybe
I can deflect all kinds of attention
A bit of diversion and some funny invention
A lot to be said for exaggeration
Partly halt this endless invasion
And I find I need to compete
I need a better story
I find I need to compete
Cos everything’s a big deal these days
And I find I need to compete
We all need the better stories
I find I need to compete with you
When I said my week had been erratic
I was just being dramatic
Its just self defense
Its automatic
I was just being dramatic
No I’m not dying but I am asthmatic
I was just being dramatic
I keep you enthralled with my mental acrobatics
By being dramatic
At least shit weather keeps away the buskers
Might fall apart with no script to use
What can I say, I’ve got trust issues
Sorry for before mentioning weather in a song
Nowt against it really, I just thing its been done
I’ll skip over any more mentions of the rain
Even though its probably a good metaphor for something
I find I need to compete
I need a bigger story
I find I need to compete
Cos everything’s a big deal these days
I find I need to compete
We all need the biggest story
I find I need to compete with everybody
I mention mood swings but I’m really quite static
I was just being dramatic
No burning desires or toys in the attic
I was just being dramatic
I said my week had been erratic
I was just being dramatic
Its just self defence
Its automatic
I was just being dramatic
I was hassled by a man in The Land of Green Ginger
He called me some names and he prodded a finger
Wasn’t a big deal but I dragged out the story
A good way of getting some sympathy maybe
I can deflect all kinds of attention
A bit of diversion and some funny invention
A lot to be said for exaggeration
Partly halt this endless invasion
And I find I need to compete
I need a better story
I find I need to compete
Cos everything’s a big deal these days
And I find I need to compete
We all need the better stories
I find I need to compete with you
When I said my week had been erratic
I was just being dramatic
Its just self defense
Its automatic
I was just being dramatic
No I’m not dying but I am asthmatic
I was just being dramatic
I keep you enthralled with my mental acrobatics
