Stuck In A Room

(album: Careful Of Your Keepers - 2023)

Measuring once, cutting it twice
Click it back in, nearly as nice
Sorting it out, stacking up piles
Take it back down, error by trial
Stuck in a room, tidy it up
Tidy it up, not good enough

Sitting up straight, sharp as a tack
Snatching it off them, grabbing it back
Good to be honest but stings a bit too
It can only be you, re-building you
Not what you wanted, not knowing when
Both ways beholden, owing to them

Stuck in a room
This place is rough
Holed up till Spring
Live off your hump

Lobbing your toys out of the pram
Oh no, you won't, oh yes, they can
Shedding of skin, dust that builds up
Growing potatoes in corners of fluff
Stuck in a room, try and sit still
Try and sit still, try to stand up

Hassling me
Hassling you
Stuck in a room
With too many rules
