lyrics

in 2019 i am going to be a good idea

my life is not good policy
you can use the old one
i am not very hard to get to
i am not sure what to expect from me

my life is not the same page
but the new year is so far and away

the kitchen sits in awkward silence
the employees told me you were here
i took the first of my own impersonal loans
it's not enough

in 2019 i am going to be in the middle of the bible
christ tells me how to be imperialistic

my life is not the same page
but the new year is so far and away
my life is not the last one
but you should know the LORD can't save us

it's four o'clock in the morning
so don't expect me to be concise
you are not the intended recipient
you are not the intended recipient
you are not the intended recipient

it's time to go

on dixon lane, off george street, three hundred years ago, they drained industrial waste through those hatches, now there's only old needles in used pork pies
a boathouse by the river on the way to the station, sitting by the most colourful flower garden you've ever seen, In Memoriam: some mass murderer or other
we just walked straight on by
on grassmarket there's a palm tree in a barrel
what did you see in there?
past scarcroft, through hob moor tunnel, the trains go by overhead, nobody in them
an empty drunk sat on a bicycle, going nowhere in particular, two disreputables in lukewarm pursuit
i'm sitting on the plague stone just to gather my thoughts
thinking about the houses falling into the river: at least it's warmer than the snow
i mistook the staff for a break-in
easy enough to do in the moonlight

i just had to take shelter from the waves
you used to wash my mind into the sea

and i was getting people
and i was seeing them go
and i was made in writing
and i was paying for the work
and i was getting people
and they would tell me where to go
and i was going out there
so this is where they went

i am a beautiful person
i'm a beautiful person
i'm a beautiful person

i am a beautiful person
i'm a beautiful person
i'm a beautiful person

i am the very best of luck
i am the latest version of a waste
i know all the fastest ways to wait
for something that never comes

i'm a beautiful person

i'm a beautiful person

i'm a beautiful person

i'm abeuatiful person

i'm a beautiful person
