My Year in Lists

You said "send me stationary to make me horny"

So I always write you letters in multicolours

Decorating envelopes for foreplay

Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away

On the back of a natural disaster, fixed with parcel tape and with kids sticking plaster

Nothing says "I miss you" quite like war poetry you carved in your door with a Stanley knife

My year in lists

Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss

So put on every winter coat that you owned since '98

And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you

I cherish with fondness the day before I met you

On your request, I compile a list

Of my top five resolutions for this year (one!)

I declined 'cause I decided that I (two!)

Do not believe in the New Year any more (three!)

And you must confess that at times like these

Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (four!)

And I accept that it's time for a change but not in places like this with people like these (five! five! five! five! five!)

My year in lists

Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss

So put on every winter coat that you owned since '98

And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you

I cherish with fondness the day before I met you.
