Instant Coffee

Early retirement's killing me slow
Sliding down that long plateau
I sold my TV and my stereo
But it won't last very long

I got no postman getting me high
Top shelf, gotta say goodbye (gotta say goodbye)
Stone broke and starry-eyed
But I know what's going wrong

I wanna see you, meet at the pub
Not in the bistro, I'm sitting out the front
With a bottle and a smile and a what-do-you-want?
Gonna sit here for a while

I'm back on instant coffee
No fancy dinners for me
I've got the secret, and I'm living out my life happily
I'm back on instant coffee
Still get my good times for free
I'm in the gutter, and I'm living like exiled royalty

And if you see me, don't pass me by
Yeah, I remember that look in your eye
There by the grace of your nine to fucking five

Yeah, and I've got a plan, and I'm doing alright
Got a teaspoon and a smile

I'm back on instant coffee
No fancy dinners for me
I've got the secret, and I'm living out my life happily
I'm back on instant coffee
Still get my good times for free
I'm in the gutter, and I'm living like exiled royalty

I'm back on instant coffee (I'm back on instant coffee)
I'm back on instant coffee (I'm back on instant coffee)
I'm in the gutter, and I'm living like exiled royalty
I'm in the gutter, and I'm living like exiled royalty
