90 degrees in my shades John Cooper Clarke

i'll be there if you want me
exactly where you said i’d be
in the easy chair
in front of the tv
i don’t care what i see
the au pair on the bed settee
with her teddy bear
and a cup of tea
i swear she’s out of her tree
the way she stares right out at me
i can’t leave i lost my key
i can’t breathe somebody help me

visiting the bathroom
that’s my format
living in a vacuum
keeps me warm at
90 degrees in my shades
90 degrees in my shades

surprise surprise that monotone phrase
idealise this monochrome haze
i realise these idle days
that come disguised as powder blue rays
hypnotised i only gaze
i cannot rise i can’t be phased
square eyes are the latest craze
double size double glazed
i’m stuck in a groove i’ll never be free
i can’t move somebody help me
