lyrics

With my World Cup ’82 edition, I played Subbuteo on Dad’s floor
Cos it had a more reliable roll than the original cloth
Knew one day my index finger, would need to be insured
Then my sister came in and trod on Dino Zoff
And I know she never meant it, but that day a dream just died
No Superglue invented could keep my eye on the prize

And I guess I drifted off. I lost interest.
I drifted off onto something else and yes, I guess I drifted.

A window opens in my schedule, so I turn on my computer
But my desk is overflowing with old CD’s and receipts
So I go downstairs ostensibly to find my Henry Hoover
Then turn the radio on and just stand there eating sweets
That unfinished masterpiece will have to stay that way
Cos there’s a chaffinch on my windowsill that wasn’t there yesterday

Chorus

Then I ask you how you’re doing, I’m nodding in all the right places
Then I mentally congratulate myself on a good interaction
And I’m focusing on you and pulling all of the right faces
Then I panic when I realise that I’m hopelessly distracted
‘Cos maybe you just poured your heart out, maybe you told a joke
Either way I hedge my bets and say “I’m sorry, I’ve got to go”

Chorus

That drink friends keep asking me for, I’ll get around to that one day
Oh but currently I know I’m worse than useless
Cos I spend my weeks dreaming of one unencumbered Sunday
And I’m worried that you’ve heard all my excuses

My friend Helen moved to Hobart, she’s got her Helmsman’s license
And Darren’s selling pictures of the astronauts that went to the moon
Beth has set up her new website, dedicated to upcoming writers
And Matthew’s in the Amazon protecting baby guinea baboons
But I dropped my dreams a while back and forgot to pick them up
So instead I’m eating Cheerios from my World’s Best Dad mug

Chorus

Looks like everyone is winning, everyone’s in the know
Or maybe they curated all their greatest hits
I guess I could’ve been a sculptor, ha, but then again no
‘Cos I spend my time teaching Subbuteo to my kids
