The Accident with the Handsaw

from Garlic & Chips by Platitude Queen

lyrics

~~~~~~~~~~

So I’m sixteen, I’m sixteen, and you are twenty three.
Ice skating never meant that much to me.
I’d sooner sit down a slush puppy and chips.

And that vinegary ketchup that tastes like piss.
Don’t think I’ll care to remember days like this.
I’d sooner sit down with someone I don’t know.

I am leaving, I'm leaving to get on the train.
You make everything I do sound insane.
I don’t think I am that interesting.

I get no signal between Thornaby and Thirsk.
You always said that you’d give up first.
Wouldn’t that be interesting.

I apologised,
As you buried me alive.

The accident,
With the handsaw,
Was your fault.

Are you well? Are you good? How’s life? How are things with you?
Remember all those funny things we used to do?
I’m sure our kids will be the same.

And those memories now are so hard to hold.
Even grasping at the ones that make you cold.
You could kill yourself chasing them.

I apologised,
As you buried me alive.

~~~~~~~~~~
