Near Enough Nothing

Of course I've been wondering how you're doing
It never really bothered me before
Until I saw a picture of you and him
And you were smiling
(You never smiled that much with me)
How are those dreams you were pursuing?
Did they all go to plan?
And did you win the fight that you were fighting?

I wanna know how you're getting on
But I don't really wanna talk
Face to face
It's getting hard enough for me to get along
With anyone these days
No matter what my phone says

When you've got Champagne plans and a Lambrini budget
Things'll never go the way you want them to
And it's a pain
But when the effort you're putting in
Is near enough nothing
The outcome coming's no one's fault but yours mate

She saw the civilised men sit down
And talk about how
They're gonna turn this turf around
And face it forwards
I saw the menacing men make mounds
From talkin' 'bout grounds
They can offer up for pounds
Who cares if it all goes backwards
(It's clear we've got different ways of viewing)
All these people
And these things
So it's best we keep our distance
(Life isn't fair love is mediocre)
I don't miss this
But the thought I defer

I wanna know how you're getting on
But I don't really wanna talk
Face to face
It's getting hard enough for me to get along
With anyone these days
No matter what my phone says

When you've got Champagne plans and a Lambrini budget
Things'll never go the way you want them to
And it's a pain
But when the effort you're puttin in
Is near enough nothing
The outcome coming's no-one's fault but yours mate
