Simmer Down - May 2018

She's still borrowing from her parents

Still barely making her rent

She's still rarely changing her bed sheets

And she goes out like it's going out of trend

She's still chasing boys like she's sixteen

Still drinking 'til she's sore

So increasingly she's wondering

If she should grow up some more

And she knows it's just a number

But she feels it weighing down somehow

'Cause she's not getting any younger

She might simmer down now might simmer

She still holidays in Newquay

Goes surfing in the sun

Still picks up boys on the sеafront

A kind of mermaid with a really filthy tongue

And it could bе just me

But maybe she's lonely

And maybe she just keeps

Looking for trophies

To make her feel good

So increasingly she's wondering

If she should grow up some more

And she knows it's just a number

But she feels it weighing down somehow

'Cause she's not getting any younger

She might simmer down now might simmer

And she knows it's just a number

But she feels as though it's not allowed

To act like she is someone younger

She might simmer down now might simmer

Simmer down, simmer down, should I simmer down, down?

Simmer down, simmer down, just simmer

She's still trying to work herself out

Still searching thte unknown

She's still showing off her feathers

A flamingo with a diamond studded bow

And some of her friends say

"But will she be okay?"

And "when will she come down?"

Or "will she be au fait with growing older?"

And increasingly they wonder

If she should grow up some more

Then again it's just a number

And she's only turning sixty-three

So just as long as she has hunger

She won't simmer down, no, won't simmer

And she knows it's just a number

And she knows it's just a way for us

To keep a hold on when she comes home

She won't simmer down, no, won't simmer

Then again it's just a number

And she's only turning sixty-three

So just as long as she has hunger

She won't simmer down, no, won't simmer
