Barnacle Goose Lyrics - Singles - Born Ruffians

And I'm frustrated with myself 

But I can't change 

I don't want to be me anymore 

And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks 

That tell the time tell me this is just a phase 

And everything every day 

That's been scraping away 

At the side of my brain 

Can't come to form a thought, except... 

And all the thoughts I think I've saved 

Here for days that remain 

Just keep eating away 

And I still can't sleep, sing... 

Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear 

To help me get some rest 

Oh my darling dear? 

The songs of the birds 

Don't bring me calmness no more 

Oh no, no they don't sing 

And none of the girls seem to think you're cool 

It's probably because you smell bad 

A skin disease won't get you 

Nowhere these days 

It's true, it's sad but true 

And everything every day 

That's been scraping away 

At the side of my brain 

Can't come to form a thought 

And all of the thoughts I think I've saved 

Here for days that remain 

Just keep eating away 

And I still can't sleep I sing... 

We're going to make plans 

We have plans to make plans 

We're going to do it right 

We've locked it in our sights 

I'll la-dee-da & they can dum-dee-day 

We'll tra-la-la all night and day we'll go far 

And if I write enough 

And think about it it'll happen 

It's not as tough as mom said 

As it so happens 

Your analyst lied to you when 

She told you the truth 

About boys, fear, open sores 

And things that are simple 

Like opening doors 

And all the thoughts I think I've saved here 

For days that remain 

Just eat eat eat away 

And I still can't sleep, sing...
