"Crowhurst's Meme" lyrics

"Crowhurst's Meme"

Terribly sorry it don't quite pass
Found a riverbed
Feeling over the counter happy
Under the cosh I'd say
Found a radio silence
Strangeness breathing
Saccharine party baby
Laughing and ha hoorah!
Well, what's a river bed sleep
Coveting, cheating

When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, arms around you
When I wake up, I'm a long way out

Terribly sorry I'm not quite right
Point fiddler
Reed riddler
Saccharine party baby
Laughing and ha hoorah!
Well that's a riverbed sleep
What's this feeling?
And they'll murder me if I come back winning
Yeah, they'll murder me

When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, arms around you
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out

What's the mercy
Now I found it out
What's the mercy
Now I found it out

I'm aware of the allegory, yes it's plain
I'm aware of the allegory, it's a fix this game
I'm aware of the allegory, yes it's plain
I'm aware of the allegory, it's a fix this game
Yes it's plain
It's a fix this game

Ben Howard said of "Crowhurst's Meme", "This song was firstly inspired by a wonky synth guitar part that I had which had a kind of seasick quality to it, which in my head had a tenuous link to the Donald Crowhurst story – the famous tale of the amateur British sailor who died whilst sailing around the world." Crowhurst who was lost at sea in 1969.
