lyrics

I had seats in the front row
For the Bill Callahan show
A hundred odd miles and two hours to go
Not gonna make it, traffic real slow

Friends are texting hey let’s meet in the bar
I’m throwing down my phone in my mother’s car
This was meant to be my sweet relief
Grinding the gears, grinding my teeth

I gave up hope and I just went home
Housemates in their rooms, I’m feeling so alone
I loaded up on codeine and went for a walk
Hackney town hall, frozen 10 o'clock

Saw the homeless woman who sits by the shop
Ready to say “sorry I’ve not got…”
Then she looks up and asks “are you OK?”
My body collapsed, my anger blew away

I sat on the floor, told her how I was
All torn up, because because
She said her dog usually hated men
And I felt good about that then
