The Usual Boredom

I want to
Want to sit in the lounge
And eat breakfast for lunch
And for tea
What to do, what to do
Could get lipstick all over my
Lipstick all over my teeth

Oh, for goodness sake
This house is too small
And the world is too great
I hope that I will be missed
Though I kissed like my lips were not mine to be kissed

I take what you bring
So the day that you leave
Is the day I lose everything
Only here to return
A Midsummer feeling
I wouldn't have felt
'cause it's all for you

And for goodness sake
Please remind me I'm young
With the world in my wake
I speak only to the
Sky in the night
When the music is right
And like ladies a-dancing
The stars keep romancing
Try as I might
Can't set water alight
It's the most pleasant fight
That I've had the delight to win

I've been swimming
I couldn't risk
The mermaids hearing this
By the time of my fall
I was far from the shore
In the Autumn
This is more more more than
The Usual Boredom

The sky in the night
When the music is right
And like ladies a-dancing
The stars keep romancing
Try as I might
Can't set water alight
It's the most pleasant fight
That I've had the delight

The Usual Boredom
More than the usual

I mourn and I yawn
By the shore in the Autumn-time
It's more than the call
Of a fawn from a forest fire
Mourn and I yawn
By the shore in the Autumn-time
More than the call
Of a fawn from a forest fire

Usual Boredom
(The sky in the night)
More than the Usual Boredom
(Ladies a-dancing)
The Usual Boredom
(I yawn by the shore)
More than the Usual Boredom
