LYRICS:
I’m halfway home, at the pub on the corner of the street
I see kids from school, but I stare down at my feet
Sports on TV
They scream for victory
A few blocks down, there’s Dawn, she’s got spinach on her teeth
In between the front ones, just a little bitty leaf
And I try to speak, but Dawn makes me nervous
And I get overexcited
Can’t do a damn thing about it
My God we’re shoulder to shoulder
Nice guy looking for a future lover
The pet shop’s closed, too bad, cause animals like me back
We had a dog once, we all just called her Kat
Was mum’s idea
She’s got great sense of humor
Later tonight, some soup, then I’ll probably send a text
“Hey Dawn it’s Jim, would you like to have some sex?
And if that’s too weird, maybe just a hot chocolate”
I get so overexcited
Can’t do a damn thing about it
My God we’re shoulder to shoulder
Nice guy looking for a future lover
[Extended version narration]
It’s quite a catch 22, isn’t it
In order to meet people you need to have confidence
But in order to have confidence you need to have friends
So how does one even take the first step?
Hey Dawn, it’s a great party yeah?
Listen, I was wondering… yeah, no it’s not John it’s Jim
Oh yeah, no, of course… I’ve got a boyfriend too
Maybe another time….
Send my best to your mum as well…..
It was great to see you Dawn, have a good night
Aw fuck, shit, oh my god
‘Cause I’m bored, bored, bored
Everyone knows it’s hard living with mother
If you can even call this living
Here’s the ride cymbal
Nothing makes a man feel more alive
than when they’re the tanging the hump of the ride
Tang the hump
Everyone knows it’s humpin’ living on ride cymbals
If you can even call that drumming
