about

Inspired by Mr Lynch’s Holiday, by Catherine O’Flynn.

lyrics

Sat in white plastic chairs
Facing into the mountains stair
What a view, I miss you
Sat inside a white wash box
Facing out to the sea
Such a blue, I miss you
All Aboard the blue sky
All Aboard the blue sea
We’ve all shipped ourselves of to
The same dream
And I could not see
That we were breaking
I could not see
That we were breaking at the seams
Sat in my darkened room
Facing the screen of impending doom
Nothing new, I miss you
Kitchen cupboards looking bare
Fathers face filled with despair
Why’s he here?
I miss you
And I could not see
That we were breaking
I could not see that we were
Breaking at the seams
Broken cupboard, leaking pool
Cat Shit Scavengers start to rule
Life’s not fair
I miss you
