lyrics

Oh fuck, is it morning?
Open a bleary eye
Scrape off the night
And go outside

The dawn is long gone, and guests sleep like the somme
Or triage in the kitchen
They ignored you before, they won't ignore you now you're face down in the pool
You won't be ignored now you're face down in the pool

He's just a friend of mine who's on his way to hide the body

The bastards turned on me
Is that fifteen minutes already?

Eke it out for a couple of years
With celebrity squares and celebrity queers
And opening some supermarkets
Iconic headgear, badge of fame
They remember that even when they forget your name
What was your name again?

Before you know it
All the girls have gone away

Didn't make reserve for your wig on ebay
But you coined with that pic of you and Vinnie J
At the infamous soirée
Looking haggard at just 35
Broke, but happy to be alive
And looking forward to moving home

Because all the girls have gone away

I won't let you forget me
You forgot me before
You won't forget me now I'm face down in the pool
Please don't forget me now I'm face down in the pool

He's just a friend of mine who lost his way
Yes, I can identify the body
