Trash Can Sinatras
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Always at the foot of the photograph, that's me there
2
Snug as a thug in a mugshot pose, a foul-mouthed rogue
3
Owner of this corner and not much more
4
Still these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards
5
I'll pound out a tune and very soon
6
I'll have too much to say and a dead stupid name
7
Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran
8
Of "oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"
9
Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers
10
I've turned twenty one, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again
11
Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two
12
Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring
13
In the lap of luxury it comes to mind
14
Is this headboard hard? Am I a lap behind?
15
But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself
16
Is the kind of fate I never contemplate
17
Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind
18
Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran
19
Of "oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"
20
Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers
21
I've turned 21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again
22
Know what it's like
23
To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?
24
Ever stopped to think and found out nothing was there?
25
They laugh to see such fun
26
I'm playing blind man's bluff all by myself
27
And they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme
28
"Ba ba bleary eyes - have you any idea?"
29
Years of learning I must be a veteran
30
Of "oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"
31
And the calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered
32
I've turned twenty, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again
33
Ought to be learning
34
Twist, I'm bust and wrong again
35
Feel like a veteran
36
Twist, I'm bust and wrong again
37
Calendar's cluttered
38
With days that are numbered
39
And I know what it's like
40
To sigh at the sight
41
Of the first quarter of life
