I Wake Up On The Settee

{inspired by mis-hearing the Fall's "I Wake Up In the City"] 

I wake up on the settee

About half past three
My head's full of static
Coming from the TV

I wake up on the settee
Road cone on my head
Hazard lights all a-flashing
My mind full of dread

Early abasement leaves such scars
Penetrating right through to my heart
Tropical island dreams so far away

I wake up on the settee
Bad taste in my mouth
Embarrassing memories
That I can't work out

I wake up on the settee
Curry stains on my shirt
Covered in cuts and bruises
Covered in grazes and dirt

I'm such a great disappointment to my folks
Feels like I've let down all their hopes
Tropical island dreams so far away

I wake up on the settee
To debris all around
Ashtrays overflowing
A line of empty cans

I wake up on the settee
The world has gone insane
Psychopathic leaders
Don't wanna play their game
