Lyrics:
I was brushing my teeth when the power went down You kow, you can't be prepared for that That electric toothbrush just ceased functioning and I didn't have a clue I tried a manual spin in my mouth, but hell, it was early And my fingers just weren't fast enough I grabbed the soap - both hands Bit it as if it was a burger But it was disgusting and pointless as the essence of last night's excesses were still there
Decided on a strong coffee to disguise that lingering taste But of course the coffee machine was dead But sure, I felt kind of pathetic, but I decided to call the housekeeper on my mobile. As I had no idea of how to change a fuse The phone said: 'Battery empty, please recharge' Great!
It was time to get the hell out of this apartment I punched in the exit code Five, six, seven times. Nothing happened I pounded - Just pounded on that reinforced, heavily-padded, soundproofed Front door of mine And wondered if it was just me Of course it was just me! I found out at around 9pm that I wasn't alone when the first light went off in the great glass tower across the divide
9pm - Monday night Normally the time to switch off that computer Order in Malay Kofta, samosas, a carton of wine Put the feet up. Read a book I know you're laughing But I still firmly believe that technology isn't everything Instead, I found myself stumbling around on borrowed illumination I found half a packet of crackers left by my last girlfriend a few weeks ago And ate them - slowly Then I just curled up on the couch And of course I slept badly
Now I mark the days Much like a castaway on a raft on the open sea Little blue lines on the wall with that antique ball-point pen But it's drying out now But I've given up the shouting I've given up the pummeling because it's pointless I've tried to establish a routine I even tidied up the place with my bare hands But it's not gonna be long now
The last thing I did before the power failed was to command the bank to make all of my regular payments automatically. On an appointed date You see, I didn't want them to come looking for me I'm reasonably wealthy. I will not be saved by the bill I really hope you appreciate the humour I'm showing at this rather inappropriate moment Lately, I've been wondering if any of my networking friends and acquaintances miss me Frankly, I doubt it Sure, I'm decent company I spin the odd, inspired one-liner I'm amusing, but face it - Hardly essential And I know what you're thinking It looks bad, doesn't it? But you don't have to worry Understand that I have accepted my fate None of us - not even you - will go on forever And well, look - I have a shelf packed with books
