lyrics

The Paper Cut

I got a paper cut
From the edge of the page
And left a vapour trail
Like I’m going all free range
Reading newspaper headlines
These notes all align with my bylines
An assortment of goods
With my hackles up I find
A collection of 3 word slogans
For snobs, toffs and bogans
The circle of life
It squeezed oval
Pen ready, placards up
We’ve a bit to discuss
Hoardings all stained with rust
And in bad luck -well yes we trust

The paper cut
Just like a knife
The content exposed
To the the light
The paper cut
Just like a knife
The content exposed
To the the light

I’m trying to download
A workforce all furloughed
Markings on the road
Potholes, the grass unmowed
Tales told and decades done
The way forward till this is won
Under the pump
And under the gun
All I got here is the power of one
A lightness of being
A tightness of chest
I write what I see
From over the desk
There is something else
From when there’s nothing left
A pep in me step
From feeling bereft
I played my cards all wrong
And cut my hands
With this song…

The paper cut
Just like a knife
The content exposed
To the the light
The paper cut
Just like a knife
The content exposed
To the the light

The stage got set
While we fleshed out finales
Commanding presences
I need arms here
Not armies
“Charmed I’m sure”
Troops mass at pinch points
Found my true north
In the midst of this joint
Reams of A4 blank loose leaf
A clean up team
Just gave their notice
PMs and Potus
Plans put in motion
Been all sand no ocean
All pickles and potions
