lyrics

i was only passing through
catch up with my parents
take some books from my old room
where they’ll sit on my dresser
in the city where i’ll move
i love the way my face looks in the windows of the tube
distorted like a hall of mirrors

and all those suited men
the city is a buffet just don’t fill up on the bread
is what my best friend told me
when i described how we met
as if the lord himself gave me
a novelty sized cheque
i thought god -
what a generous lover

please don’t ask me how i am
i think you knew the answer
when you went to kiss my hand
oh you know the reason i am here
it’s not the spiral staircase it’s not the chandeliers

oh I’m
doing really well thanks
i look after myself thanks
I don’t need you
yeah I’m
doing really well thanks
i do not need your help thanks
don’t need it

and don’t you pity me
at least i do my crying on
egyptian cotton sheets
who’d have thought that little miss
most likely to succeed
would be conducting business
in the back of limousines
pull up the partition
on one condition
please don’t ask me how i am
i think you knew the answer
when you went to kiss my hand
oh you know the reason i am here
it’s not the spiral staircase it’s not the chandeliers

its that time again
you’ve got work at 9am
i sleep better on your bathroom floor than i do in my bed
oh what must you think of me
please don’t tell them what you’ve seen
I’ve done awful things for money but you’ve all done worse for free

please don’t ask me how i am
i think you knew the answer
when you went to kiss my hand
oh you know the reason i am here
it’s not the spiral staircase it’s not the chandeliers

oh I’m
doing really well thanks
i look after myself thanks
i’m doing really well thanks
i don’t not need you
do not need you
doing really well thanks
i do not need your help thanks
i’m doing really well thanks
i don’t not need you
do not need you
