The next room I want to Take you into the next Room Share cynical laughs at their expense And make a toast to we, the privileged few And share backhanded compliments ****** your shoes upon somebody elses bed knock all their possessions on the floor throw caution to the wind and live the youth you never dared kiss me till my lips are sore The bands you loved before the world caught up they never did improve upon their first now fading from collective consciousness cos every album just gets worse Give me something sweeter than oxygen from a time when this was all brand new I'm just trying to feel without thinking this is too good to be true Give me something that can satisfy Give me joy that won't disappear before my eyes give me something I can taste that isn't ashes on my tongue instant gratification never took so long We sigh in mock despair now without hope Having watched Everything We Love's demise, And the sacred cows all twitch with BSE now From the culture they cannibalised

The Next Room
