Lyrics:

I'm all alone this is a holiday
Some bloody holiday,
My friends have gone away
They're of the temporary sort I think
I will be better without,
As long as you let me out

To taste the air beside the river
I pick the soundtrack
With immaculate care
Such a lot rests on it
My life upon a song
You don't know how much I need...
Musician, please take heed

I thought I might just write a letter
Anything to stay away
From books and lessons today
Besides, it's part of my induction
Into the literate world
I am a literate girl

I string the words together softly
I lay my love upon you with each line
A gift of improvising
Removes me from revising
I made a daisy chain from
Phrase, verse and punctuation

I'll kick this mood off
With a change of scene
I buy a leotard and go to the gym
I couldn't get away with
Wearing it last summer

But I've lost a lot of weight
I think it's down to
Leaving meat out of my diet as a rule
I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel

And if the night time
Threatens me with pain
I will give into lust,
I will do what I must

I've got a number of a girl I know
Who gets hallucinogens
From a pair of hooligans
I'll take a dose; I don't mind trying
She lets me stay there
While I leave the ground
Old episodes of Minder,
I snuggle up beside her
Think that I'll stay till morning,
She's got me started yawning
