"The Last Armchair" lyrics

"The Last Armchair"

Oh, the last armchair you ever sat on
Before you overdosed
Is the one I sit in every morning
To eat my egg and toast

It was the first piece of furniture
That I think I ever bought
I felt so grown up when I carried it
Across the IKEA car park

Now I feel just like a child
I feel just like a child
Lost and alone in the homeware aisle
Oh, we're all just playing house
Firemen and nurses
Waiting for someone to pick us and say
Ah you're okay
Ah you're okay

I guess I saw you less and less then
DIY and dinner plans
Not much time for all-nighters
Between the gigs and baby scans, mmm
Bills to pay and holidays
Telling the neighbours to keep it down (hey keep it down)
Doing the big shop on a Saturday
Yeah, I'm a big boy
I'm a big boy now!

But I feel just like a child
I feel just like a child
Lost and alone in the homeware aisle
Yeah, we're all just playing house
Firemen and nurses
Waiting for someone to pick us and say
Ah you're okay
Ah you're okay
Ah you're okay
You're okay now
