Deptford Creek Lyrics

Dead inside, in formaldehyde

Bleary-eyed

Am I free at last now?

You never see the monotony

The cyanide, the boozy hoosegow

locked in a room, Sunday gloom

Staring out at a weeping willow

Tick tick boom, waiting to rest

Your lubricated head on a pillow

Looking back, I guess

I could've done better

Bitten the bullet

Wrote you a letter

Hammered again, amen, amen

Ossify, make it a double

No, pick up a pen

Get out of your den, detoxify

Shovel the rubble

I want to be an aider and abettor

Hit the gas, push the carburettor

Drive it away, this is the day

Hit the ball down the old fairway

It's a poisonous reek, Deptford Creek

Under your skin, silver shallows

Trough or peak, am I a freak?

Where do I begin?

Craven and callow

Looking back, I guess

I could've done better

Bitten the bullet

Wrote you a letter

Drive it away, this is the day

Hit the ball down the old fairway
