What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Picture this: two thirty on the hottest night in June
2
He awaits for no reason and checks his watch by the moon
3
And his mouth feels as dry as his eyes as he struggles to rise
4
and stops to contemplate his [wife's?] eyes as he does up his flies
5
He finds his slippers where he left them under the chair
6
behind the two cups and an old copy of Marie Claire
7
And he switches on the coffee machine that, of course, works like a dream
8
Catches sight of his reflection in the silver surface sheen
9
and it's a face he knows well, although it should look less abused,
10
with all these moisturisers and the skin products he used
11
As he moves through the kitchen his homage to brush steel,
12
across the new pine flooring that's plastic but looks real
13
Past the plasma with the wide screen and cinema surround sound
14
and he stops at his favourite spot by the window and looks down
15
On the orange lit street at the edge of the private car park
16
where his Audi TT is waiting safely in the dark (safely in the dark)
17
Keeping it all inside of you (inside of you)
18
Something will have to give
19
And if you could, you'll take it back
20
But you lose your way in the way you live
21
Now he can hear windchimes tinkling out on the balcony
22
and his phone beeping out a text message in the same key
23
He checks it and it's Jill who used to be his secretary
24
before they started an affair and things began to get really scary
25
Now his wife Mary's getting wary of his lies
26
like she's read the whole sordid story in his eyes
27
It doesn't help that Jill's now saying that she's two weeks late,
28
His mental state is really starting to deteriorate
29
He never knew how he got so out of his depth
30
or why he's broken more than all these promises kept
31
And it's been ages since he's slept properly
32
His sleep's now broken by these dreams of extra marital activity
33
Trying to recapture the rapture he used to get
34
from his material possessions and endless retail therapy sessions
35
Should have listened to what his dad said before he died
36
"The best things in life are the ones you can't buy, son"
37
Keeping it all inside of you (inside of you)
38
Something will have to give
39
Wish you could buy a ticket back (a ticket back)
40
But you lose your way in the way you live
41
He used to feel so safe up here in his shrine to Ikea
42
Away from the shouts and the louts, and the girls with the overpainted pouts
43
And the queers and the dykes and the kids in their box-fresh Nike's
44
delivering rocks to the house across the street on rusty mountain bikes
45
He used to feel so safe up here in his shrine to Ikea
46
Away from the shouts and the louts, and the girls with the overpainted pouts
47
And the queers and the dykes and the kids in their box-fresh Nike's
48
delivering rocks to the house across the street on rusty mountain bikes
