lyrics

I was gonna do the washing up
And it still is a pressing concern of mine
But as the plates started sinking
Away my brain was drifting
And since then there's been a passage of time
'Cause this earth is colossal
Eventually we'll be fossils
But I don't wanna lose another day
And will anyone remember me when I am no longer
But for now I'll concentrate on washing this colander

They say life's too short
Gotta take it as it comes
Well that's hard to ignore
But even harder to confront
And I know I can be frustrating
I can see it in your face
I'm a greek tragedy
But my heart's usually in the right place

I know I said we'd go to the cinema
I wanna see that new pixar film
And you wanna see something else
Well you know what lets go tonight
But it is getting darker these days
My coats been mislaid
Winter is coming
I think it might rain
And from inside that's the cosiest sound
And somehow I seem to be wearing my dressing gown
Should be giving your hand a squeeze
Between those cinema seats
But for now
Maybe, let's see what's on TV

They say life's too short
Gotta take it as it comes
Well that's hard to ignore
But even harder to confront
And I know I can be frustrating
I can see it in your face
I'm a greek tragedy
But my heart's usually in the right place

They say life is a rollercoaster
'Cause it's big and it's scary
And there's often a height restriction
They say life is a game of cards
'Cause there's always a couple of jokers
But nobody knows what they're for
Statistics I can't ignore
Tears of a clown

And now for the exodus it goes:
They say life's too short
You gotta take it as it comes
Well that's hard to ignore
Even harder to confront
And I know I can be frustrating
I can see it in your face
Call me Antigone
'Cause I'm a greek tragedy
But my heart's usually in the right place
