Leave Me Out

I know you’re sleeping

The gas is leaking

Tender is the night

There’s the killing flu

There’s the evening blue

There’s the pile of leaves

Of your dying trees

There’s the gender war

On each one’s backyard

There’s the chill up your spine

There’s the morning moon

There’s the dream come true

With your cigarette breaks

Strangers with their strange names

Leave me out

’Cos I’m no wonderboy

I’m no happy song

So leave me out

’Cos I’m no wonderboy

I’m no happy song

I’m no sing-along

On your radio

I’m no sing-along

On your radio

Then the laugh’s been drawn

And the the laugher’s bored

With your smile

There’s the silver spoon

Dropped in an empty pool

Wine is going down

Easy, as every night

These’re your forgotten friends

These expired meds

You’d never throw away

There’s the calming down

Sunday’s always too bright

And there is still the sound

Of my blinding light

Leave me out

’Cos I’m no wonderboy

I’m no happy song

So leave me out

’Cos I’m no wonderboy

I’m no happy song

I’m no sing-along

On your radio

I’m no sing-along

On your radio

I know you’re all alone

And you don’t even fucking know

Windows break easier than you thought

Sweat tastes the same everywhere you go

And guests stay always way too long

I know, now I don’t wanna go
