LYRICS

New game scrapping my life
It was you out back with a butter knife
Who took my parts, buried ’em with the dog
Not great but what did I think
That a bouncy castle catholic could give to me
But a little wine and god
So I’m working on a wreckage with
Nothing there to salvage oh
I’m just taking photos for my book
About the damage and
Some have called me cheap but it’s
Not that fucking deep
Like what’s left for me
But poetry
And getting really old

I’m heading to California
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
I’m milking what I can from this grief
I’m heading to California
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
I’m writing for the peace you wouldn’t leave

Cold call to get me out
Of your big boys’ starving artist’s house
But you drove me there and opened up the doors
Now I trade in English dear
My nanny’s nanny’s nanny’s fears
Are living here
Along with all of yours
Oh yeh
Whinging like a woman is
Hinging on what’s coming
Cuz everybody likes me when
My pain is in a sonnet
And you can call me cheap but
You did this shit to me
Made me brilliant
You fucked me up
So I’m reaping what you’ve sown

I’m heading to California
Don't say I didn’t warn ya
I’m milking what I can from this grief
I’m heading to California
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
I’m writing for the peace you wouldn’t leave
California
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
I’m finishing the hat like we agreed
California
I wonder is it torture
Harvesting all this misery

California aa oo aaaa
California aa oo aaaa
California (I'm writing up a book about us)
California (they’re gonna make a movie of it)
California (they’re gonna cast Jake Gyllenhaal)
California (and I’m Kristen Schaal)
California (they’re gonna do it with a Coen brother)
California (set it in Wicklow, with ya mother)
California (oh no it won a Razzie)
California (it’s all for nothing, should’ve just tried being happy)
