about

LIFE ADVICE is about — some sort of pale joke?

lyrics

Well a shameful, lop-sided amateurish woollen bat, looked at me sideways,
It was the kind you get in a rotary club jumble sale, 
Which is what I was in f  act at
Between jars of horrible antique jam
And the kind of vase that it’s impossible to imagine
Who designed them
And who made them
And who bought them
And why they’re not already broken
And floral throws real flowers wouldn’t be seen dead in
home-made pots with plastic ones looking depressed in
Well this bat, he was twirling on a woollen string
And he looked at me
And he said: 

“Never look back”

I thought: “That’s good advice”
Advice for life
That’s good advice
Advice for life
But then someone tapped me on the shoulder

And now imagine you’re writing in a snow storm
Correcting addresses with a broken biro before you post them
Your glasses are clouded with understandable frustration
Teeth chattering like peanuts on a slalom
And some guy you don’t recognise comes along and butts in
His hair’s all knotted from being out so long in the wind
He’s in a poncho, sunglasses, a saucy grin,
Stares you in the face and says, with no small measure of pride:
“Take it all in your stride”
But then he got on his bike


Finally she’s walking along the side of a mausoleum
Gets her foot trapped in one of those grates with the big gaps in
Droves of tourists in flip flops just walk straight by
And the community service officer just stares her right in the eyes
A feral dog sprays all over her new handbag
The sun goes down, she misses her school run,
And then some old lady comes along, (and pointing her fag),
And almost in song, she says:

“Don’t look down on anyone”

Take it all in your stride

But then she walked into a graveyard

Well that’s good advice
Advice for life
Yeah good advice
Advice for life (etc.)
