Lyrics

Across the screen the titles run
As he ticks off another one
He marks it eight (that's out of ten)
Scorcese masterful again
He jabs and points the remote control
The video comes from its hole
A new cassette goes in its space:
Another Time Another Place
And this is how he lives his life
Ever since he lost his wife
When she walked out a year ago
She'd had enough and told him so
'Well, if you're sure..' was all he'd said
She told him he'd been good in bed
But oh, so bad at life itself
And now she lives with someone else
He goes to work to pay the bills
For satellite and renting films
A workmate puts him on the spot:
'What will you do when you've seen the lot?'
He feels his heart begin to pound
His mouth gapes open but makes no sound
He knows that day will surely come
But Halliwell's still holding some
And then one day a letter came
His mother had a stroke again
Called his brother: 'Is Mum all right?'
His brother said, 'Mum died last night'
'Ok,' he said, put down the phone
Sat there empty, all alone
Thinking of when he was a child
Another film playing through his mind
He left the wake before the end
Another loss he couldn't mend
Stayed in his flat on special leave
Watching TV, smoking weed
He barely slept all night and day
Amphetamines kept it at bay
No difference between his dreams
And images upon the screen
With just a few more films to go
He buys a camera video
He watches them and sets it up
Then climbs the ladder to the top
He sees his head go through the noose
Before he kicks the ladder loose
And though he knows won't mourned
He wonders if he pressed record
