lyrics

I am not enough
For you, really
And your para stuff
Normal, gliding
Smiling, say, ‘Kia Ora’
And stop traffic
I say, ‘Kia Ora’
Is that right?

Standing at the carousel
Saying, ‘how do you forgive yourself?’
Can’t I do something right?
Can’t I do something well?

Same dream, always
Sniffing paint
Little, civil, ugly, naval
Here it’s real

Standing at the carousel
Saying, ‘how do you forgive yourself?’
Can’t I do something right?
Can’t I do something well?
All of my great, great people
Showing their acne scars
And feeling a part of something

And all the people in the town
Overjoy their injury
Tangle in their bacchanal
Through the side of an anxious hill
Blackest ferry, Bay of Fleas
Country quiet, ketamine
Into port, that face again
Scene

And all of my great, great people
Showing their acne scars
And feeling a part of something ugly!
If you need to find your peace
Can you put the kids to sleep?
Can you see a hoary-headed grebe
Or beef cheek?
