lyrics

Need somewhere to live man? I know a place
I'm at the hotel, motel, co-living space
I'm living in a coffin place my ashes in a vase
At the hotel, motel, co-living space

21 grand job in the city, it's not great
Spend 50 on pints, dance to songs that you hate
At the indie disco set in 2008
"Let's all meet up when our bodies integrate!"
I'm in the mindful room, miming a happy tune
I'm in my new home, I hope you join me soon
What...? Say what?
You'll have to speak up there someone wanking in my sock now

I'm not begging your forgiveness
I'm begging your pardon
Who needs a place to cook?
Who needs a garden?
All I need is walls, who needs privacy?
Cause some spectral engineer thinks he's better than me

Need somewhere to live man? I know a place
I'm at the hotel, motel, co-living space
My heart is a coffin place my ashes in a vase
At the hotel, motel, co-living space

Excuse me please, could you get out of reception?
We've got the blue-shirts coming in to celebrate their election
Just go to your room, you can sit and wait
But room service is for guests not you homeless ingrates
Don't get irate, just get it straight
Keep your head out of sight, you can stay up late
Just as long as you know, this is your final fate

With neon walls who needs a garden? I'm begging your pardon
Who needs four walls ? Who needs privacy?
These spectral engineers think they're better than me
