Shelf Life - Lloyd Cole[00:00:04]

I am consumed by delusions of grandeur[00:00:11]

I'm fallen prey to the beautiful girl[00:00:18]

I have seen romance in the obvious quarters[00:00:25]

And I have painted myself into that world[00:00:33]

I have constructed my own personal Babel[00:00:52]

But many passages remain out of print[00:00:59]

Leaving me in an unresolved sentence[00:01:06]

Without an idea of where it went[00:01:13]

I have developed an unnatural candour[00:01:33]

In contradiction to all I hold dear[00:01:40]

I think of myself as tall and silent[00:01:47]

This little voice is all that I hear[00:01:54]

Now the night's drawing in[00:02:06]

I'm your unworthy friend[00:02:16]

At the untimely end of a lifetime[00:02:21]

Thinking I might hold on to my first marriage[00:02:57]

I learned the language of the self obsessed[00:03:04]

It was only later at the post-grad parties[00:03:11]

That it rewarded me with great success[00:03:18]

No longer waiting for my prayers to be answered[00:03:38]

No longer waiting for my publisher's call[00:03:44]

No longer charming in my reminiscence[00:03:52]

Only immersed in a faint afterglow[00:03:59]

Now the night's drawing in[00:04:11]

I'm your unworthy friend[00:04:20]

At the ungodly end of a lifetime[00:04:26]
