lyrics
Eventually
Eventually I hurt them on the inside
Eventually they pack their things and leave
Eventually I freak them out with visions
So now I sit and feed my lunch to pigeons
Oh god, why am I so strange
Oh god, is this a bad chord choice
Don’t worry you’re gorgeous
Don’t worry you’re gorgeous
Eventually I’ll be a little less porous
Eventually I’ll write a proper chorus
Eventually I’ll be a political hero
When I’ve shed a little of my ego
It’s not about me though, no no
It’s not about me though
Eventually they tell me I’m their favourite
Eventually they say the magic words
But words are cheap, where’s the ring?
This is not a talking thing, where are you now?
Eventually they tell me I’m too honest
So now I tell my secrets to the forest
Eventually a fan will wait at the merch stand
Tell me that he wants to be my husband
And I’ll tell him sure, but no you can’t be in the band man
Cause that always gets fucked up eventually
If only I had a glockenspiel
I wouldn’t have deal with your spiels about life
Oh and it feels too dry, too dry and I’ve tried
To be a good wife
But I turn my head and see a bed of pleasure
With someone elses wife I want a wild life
Oh and I’m just that kind, that kind of girl
I mean woman, I’m a woman
Eventually I’ll wear my mother’s wedding dress
To a séance or a gig or my own marriage
Oh what rhymes with marriage?
Maybe porridge, maybe courage, maybe choice
Oh god, why am I so strange?
Oh god, is this a bad chord choice
Don’t worry you’re gorgeous
Don’t worry you’re gorgeous
