As the Spin Cycle Span - Fast

[Verse 1]

"I'm sick of this" he spat

As the spin cycle span

"I've been sitting here for years

Watching washing machines

Go Round, Round, Round, Round, Round

I went to art school

But the teacher lost my work

And so I fix kitchen appliances

For pissed-up pissed off customers

Now, Now, Now, Now, Now

[Chorus]

I've got these stories and illustrations

It's like a calling for me to create them

I drop them off in coffee shops

And I don't care who reads them

That ain't why I put my pen to pad

I write 'em cos I need to

Oh, Woah, Woah, Oh, Oh

[Verse 2]

I ain't got much in the way of good company

Just strangers in kitchens offering me cups of tea

Imposing with conversation or trying to ignore me

Never in between (in between)

I'm ageing, my back aches, my knees hurt from kneeling

On lino for my entire working day

And when I get home I'll open the bottle

And scribble my thoughts 'til the day is forgotten

Now, Now, Now, Now, Now

[Chorus]

I've got these stories and illustrations

It's like a calling for me to create them

I drop them off in coffee shops

And I don't care who reads them

That ain't why I put my pen to pad

I write 'em cos I need to

Oh, Woah, Woah, Oh, Oh

[Bridge]

I'm tantamount to genius

The things I write are beautiful

Don't care if you don't read them

Cos I never wrote a word for you

I write them for me

And I like what I read

I'm kind of lonely

I'm kind of lonely!

[Chorus]

I've got these stories and illustrations

It's like a calling for me to create them

I drop them off in coffee shops

And pray that someone reads them

Because if my art had impact

It would give my life some meaning

Oh, Woah, Woah, Oh, Oh
