Sensible

Well they wake up early

Then they, then they go to bed

At 9:15 so they can focus on their breath

And their cars shine nicely in that deep mortician's black

That says, "They'll never love you back"

Oh, no, they'll never love you back

Like they love their money and their dogs and their cats

And a crisp Chianti in a lightly frosted glass

And their, and their mouths they chatter just like plastic castanets

All the people talk in metaphors and clichés like they're better for

No, never saying nothing 'til

Until they say it all with flowers

Oh, yeah, they're ever so young

And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible

They're all so sensibly numb

The bed's on fire and they go to sleep

I try to count myself, I'm running out of sheep

And it's all so, so easily done

You're all so sensible

You're all so sensible

You're all so sensibly numb

Take me to London

Take me to Task

Take me to Dalston

We'll play Fred Again.. and dance

And let's fuck remotely in those self repeating flats

You know Chablis was incredible, the Chablis was incredible

Oh, we'll go to Spurstowe and we'll try the latest drugs

And there's, there's always something but there's never quite enough

And if you're, if you're not down well then they're never really up

And they only speak in metaphors, they only speak in metaphors

They only speak in metaphors

Well they say it so much better when they say it all with flowers

Oh yeah, well they're ever so young

And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible

They're all so sensibly numb

Well the bed's on fire and we go to sleep

I try to count myself, I'm running out of sheep

And it's all so easily done

You're all so sensible, they're all so sensible

And it's all so sensibly—

Flowers

Flowers

Flowers

Flowers

Flowers

Oh yeah, well they're ever so young

And they're all so sensible, they're all so sensible

They're all so sensibly numb

The cat's on fire in a crinoline dress

And the dog's on Sarafem 'cause it keeps him in his head

And we're all so, we're all so young

And we're all so sensible

And we're all so sensible

And we're all so sensibly numb
