Life is dull, I don't do much Just sit at home, stay out of touch Read a book or write a line Tell my mum I'm doing fine Flatmate just thinks I'm a jerk But then he's young and out of work Getting thin I don't each much Nearly always out to lunch Had enough, I'm going out I know a place that's not too loud Drink myself insensible And laugh if I'm still capable When the evening has to end The laughing stops, I'm home again Another chance has passed me by Hang my head and start to cry Life is dull, I'm hard to please Just sit at home, feel ill at ease Day outside is dull and grey Always is on Saturday Even in my darkest hour Just before the dawn is breaking Just before the storm's erupting Just when I thought it was safe too
