Jesus, during my emo teenage phase I used to think these lyrics were so deep and I related so much. Cringe.
Taken from the second chorus where he does leave out the “ball” to be fair.
As if walls weren’t depressing to look at already.
Always preferred Elton’s cannon in the wind myself
There’s almost certainly a special place in hell for people who put vinyl quote “art” on their walls. This also counts for shabby chique wooden signs with “home is where the heart is”, “meals and memories are made here” or “live laugh love”. You know that sound sideshow Bob makes when he steps on the rakes? That’s my reaction when I see those signs.
Baaaaaaaaaall is on the wall going up the stairs.
You had one job!
“Think you’re missing a word there”
“Ah balls”
Live,
Love,
Cannonball
That is just frustrating to look at. Like if you are writing lyrics and include the “yeah yeah yeah” of the backup vocals or try to phonetically write out the extra syllables as in “looking at you-ew-ew”
Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell
Crash
I’m the last splash
Where was he while we were getting high?
Imagine paying actual legal tender to have the musical equivalent of Tesco value brand singer songwriter fare adorn your wall.
How to tell people you’re mentally unstable without actually telling them
Not a bad song to be fair.
Perfect title you should work for the Sun
Ooof!
What a flash back! I absolutely adored this song, and damo, in general.
