Happy Returns

Hey brother, happy returns, it’s been a while now

I bet you thought that I was dead

But I’m still here, nothing’s changed



Hey brother, I'd love to tell you I've been busy

But that would be a lie

Cos the truth is the years just pass like trains

I wave but they don’t slow down



Hey brother, I see the freaks and dispossessed on day release

Avoiding the police

I feel I’m falling once again

But now there’s no one left to catch me



Hey brother, I feel I’m living in parentheses

And I got trouble with the bills

Do the kids remember me?

Well I got gifts for them, and for you and sorrow

But I’m feeling kind of drowsy now

So I’ll finish this tomorrow
