Lyrics[]
I think my watch has bust and so has time
I borrowed all my love so nothings mine
There's nothing decent on the TV page
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage
It's gone eleven and the bar is shut
I'm sitting waiting like a real good mutt
I watch TV with an actor's rage
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage
