about

This is about a very unpleasant evening, hence it is in a minor key. As the jaegermeisters* say, "I TRY VITH SOTTLE!"

*From 'Girl Genius' - if ye be unfamiliar, go to www.girlgeniusonline.com and prepare to miss lunch for a fortnight. Believe me, it's worth it.

lyrics

There were some things I could have done,
But it was all over so quickly,
I could've fought, I could've run,
But it was all over so fast,
And so I do what little things the circumstance dictates,
But all too soon, all I can do is wait,

Another whiskey's what I need,
That was all over so quickly,
Or, better yet, some space to breathe,
But it's all going so fast,
And so I search for silence in this slowly shrinking space,
And pray the stress ain't showing on my face,

How can this statement take so long,
When it was all over so quickly?
Please, can we hurry this along?
I want this all over so fast,
My place is here with the people that I need,
But the coppers have decided, so I'll do what they've decreed,
Don't worry, we'll be back in next to nothing flat,
Keep safe,
It'll all be over so quickly,
It'll all be over so fast...

Wrapping his tales of everyday awkwardness in jauntily individual arrangements and addictively alliterative wit, he has a tendency to get embarrassed when talking about himself at length.
