long way from celebrating

i'm only here trying to make a living

i need another midnight idea

forty-five bottles lay abandoned

and my discount disappeared

two lines written in the paper

and one of them is my name

i'm a long long way from celebrating

and it's never gonna be the same

do i miss you?

i don't know

i just need something

for my soul

'cos i'm a long long way from celebrating

ever since i knew that you were crazy

you're like a human tv

spending time with you is some challenge

with a reaction guaranteed

we'll all be home in time for tea and medals

and i could lick the pattern off a plate

i'm a long long way from celebrating

it's gonna be bitter sweet

do i miss you?

i don't know

i just need something

for my soul

'cos i'm a long long way from celebrating

would i miss you?

don't think so

just gimme something

for my soul

'cos i'm a long long way from celebrating
