Mid Life Crisis

V1 I’m just a cabbie / A donkey crane

Top Cash dispenser / I’m shouting do you know my name?

A handy scapegoat / when things go bad

Hot water bottle / it’s cold outside and you are glad

I reach the top shelf - you need a father to explain the world

Fix the car - sand the floor - smooth

V2 you never bother / even when you’re looking hot

To guess my feelings / A massive favour it is not

I flash the plastic / I send stuff back

My life is worthless / all the rest of it is yakkety yak

I can’t get laid so ......I'm busy having sex alone

on my own - Late at night – all the time – sad

I’m dead to you / you’re dead to me

[Instrumental]

V3] I bought a sports car / Another shed

To keep me happy / Although inside I'm feeling dead

Why should it happen / why should I pay?

The sperm donation / was long ago and far away

The kids done good - thats just as it should always be

There's nothing left - Nothing left - nothing left for me

Composition Notes:

Men, especially the suburban sort, have midlife crisises around the age of 40 and it's said they either get a sports car, a shed or another woman. I actually had my midlife crisis in 2003 but it took me until 2016 to write about it.
