How I Lost My Somerset Accent
Diamonds will always look like stones / That man you love will always tell lies / It’s the station grinded shit / That turned out to be Thai stick / State lines will always divide / And if you leave now where you going to go? / Back to the country / That town that we once owned / Means everything to you / I’ll come back if you say you want me to / It took three years to lose your trailed off slur / That I’ve noticed does return on the phone / And I’m sorry I was late / I didn’t meant to make you wait / I’ll make it up when we get back to our south west home / Let’s go home / And every time I go out drinking it feels as if someone in the room really wants to beat me up / And this is usually because someone in the room really wants to beat me up / Sometimes it’s because of something I did ten years ago at school / Or sometimes it’s just because I’m aware of the correct usage of the word there / And whereabouts all the apostrophes should go / All in all I get an overwhelming feeling of being alienated and alone / Even when I’m surrounded by my very closest friends / And I’m fucked if I ever need to use a cash machine / And if you leave now where you going to go? / Back to the country / Like a method of going home / That town on borrowed time / I guess true loves always collide
