Mainly Mornings - Kitchens Of Distinction

I open my eyes and look at his face again

Oh good god so nothing’s changed

The shopping to eat and the coffee to drink

The untrusty work in this miserable clink

He reaches for a packet of cigarettes on the table

And takes one and lights it and inhales again

I close the front door behind him again

Oh yes dear child it’s safe to come in why don’t you come in

Where there’s the television the radio the telephone

It all helps

There’s the car the sex the love the alcohol

It all helps it all helps

Sometimes I want to push the pedal down a little further

Until the car is unhappy

Mainly mornings
