Edgware Road

from Bourbon on the Rocks by The Quixotes

lyrics

He has his mood swings on K-Tel
And never said he felt so well
He's afraid he's frayed his only hope
To be left swinging from a soap on a rope

He's still travels East, the Circle Line,
From Baker Street to Baker Street
Never quite managed to jump off at Edgware Road
And you can't give up while you're ahead
When you never get ahead
Because you're always running in penultimate place
You're not even bad enough to be last
At least that would be some sort of distinction
Whatever philosophical toilet he sits and thinks on
Must almost give him strength to carry on

He’s been round and round and round and round
He's been lost and found and lost and found
And lost

His life is like the M25
But though he thanks fuck he’s still alive
He always returns to where he started
There was never any faithful to be departed

He's still travels East, the Circle Line,
From Baker Street to Baker Street
Never quite managed to jump off at Edgware Road
And you can't give up while you're ahead
When you never get ahead
Because you're always running in penultimate place
You're not even bad enough to be last
At least that would be some sort of distinction
Whatever philosophical toilet he sits and thinks on
Must almost give him strength to carry on

He’s been round and round and round and round
He's been lost and found and lost and found
And lost
