Fishing

Well, I can't make any sense
Of all the letters you write
It's like your pen doesn't work
You're so much better in type

You used to talk all the time
But now we don't anymore
Guess we don't have the time
It doesn't work anymore

If the band doesn't work
Just get a regular job
The pressure's starting to melt
Into your shirt
It's a lot
Is there something we're missing?

We go out with our friends
And we sit by the Thames
Going fishing
I don't need no conversation, please

Well, we don't die anymore
'Cause we don't smoke anymore
We don't laugh anymore
'Cause we don't joke anymore

Buy a coat and a car
Buy a boat and a chain
Buy a house with a moat
By a beautiful stream

Buy a phone with a plan
Buy a villa abroad
By the Portuguese Coast or the Cote d'Azur
Or we can go swimming

We go out with our friends
And we sit by the Thames
Going fishing
I don't need no conversation, please

Oh, the songs that they're singing
They're just the kind that we like
You're brushing dust from your knuckles
But I'm too pretty to fight

I've been reeling the line in
I've been playing for days
If the joke isn't landing
Well, I'd be happy to wait

We go out with our friends
And we sit by the Thames
It's all clear now

All those happy smiling faces
I don't need no conversation, please
If you don't love me
Oh, I don't mind
We'll just sit and watch the tides
