music to walk home to (Explicit) - Hard Life
Lyrics by:Fraser T. Smith/Murray Matravers
Composed by:Fraser T. Smith/Murray Matravers
Yeah
So I'm walking home
I'm just walking home all on my own
There's literally no one else awake except me
And the blokes selling hot dogs outside the station
And what a wild night it's been
Two blokes dressed up as bananas join a party
Saying that they've just taken a huge pay rise at their dream job
Great so you work 35 hours a week
Pushing paper for someone who doesn't even know you exist
Great
So you've got a promotion
And sit next to Vicky from accounts
Who you say is somewhat of a potential love interest
Well either way she's at least a bit of eye candy apparently
And what about you
What keeps you busy
Well excuse me my slippery-skinned friend
I must be going now
And just like that I was off
Just me myself and I again
No distractions alone with my thoughts
And what a wild night it's been
Cocktails and disco biscuits
And the night bus can be a terrifying place
Look just a short walk past the hardware store
And across the crossroads and then home
Finally
Take these jeans off slip out of these shoes
And stare at the ceiling
And let some kind of repetitive salsa music drift me off
To the land of nod
I sure hope I can sleep tonight I'm awfully tired
In fact f**k that I'm tired as f**k
And avoiding these puddles that seem to have gathered
Since I left mine is a little bit of a dream
I slowly make my way down the road
Tarmac and white lines tarmac and white lines
Thank God we got rid of those bananas eh
Why why
Why is it that when you're ruined all of your interactions
Seem to have a mysterious undertone
Like wait did did I just meet my cousin
Or maybe a future lover
Or hey
You look just like that guy who works at my local Londis
Bartenders eh
F**k those guys like yeah I get it I used to work at a bar too
But come on I'm trying to have fun here
And you're being a proper vibe vacuum
A vampire vacuuming up every last drop of my enthusiasm
Until I am nothing but a sorry little raisin
Bananas and raisins
I sure hope I have toast at home
Cheese on toast salt and pepper Lee and Perrin's wow
Game changer you have just changed my life
Thank you so much for showing up and I genuinely appreciate the guidance
Hmm my legs are aching a little now but either way not far
Not far c'mon Murray not far at all
Keep on going
And each Uber that glides silently past me is like a lonely ghost
Of some pre-existent supercar that once roared and snarled at the traffic lights
Reduced to nothing but a quivering silent pseudo suitable tin can
Ahh finally I've made it
Where are my keys
Okay don't be silly they're in your hand
Why you making this long
Just go through the door
Okay waiting for the lift now
And brace yourself for when the lift's door opens
And then a huge full-length mirror
Me and all my drunken glory
Kinda wish I got a photo of those weird banana men now
But it's okay fourth floor here I come
Ahh flat 65 it's good to be back
Keys in the door feeling good feeling good and home at last
And what a wild night it's been
Especially for a school night
Won't be doing that again in a hurry
Okay turning my phone off now
And um you can keep the music playing by all means
Just perhaps turn it down a little if that's cool
Yeah much better thank you
Oh and and just quickly about tomorrow I was thinking about taking Ire
And Holly out for a walk and then probably just chill
Read a book or something
Yeah haha yeah yeah yeah
Alright hey it's it's been a pleasure
Yeah thanks speak tomorrow
Sweet dreams and and yeah
Blah blah blah
Alright goodnight
