"The Tale Of Gurney Gridman" lyrics

1 PM on a Monday
The bottle shop opens at 2
It's sunny outside and all year I've been hiding
I've just got an hour to get through
Time is only a concept
The past is only a thought
Life is dull without meaning
But drinking all day makes the future warm

I won't say if a diamond looks rough
But I'm not really looking for them much
Unless they fall 'round me, I won't need to adjust
Augment all and belong everywhere
Like a sunset
I wish I'd glow

Isn't life strange, how
It starts to make sense?
You work it all out
And then you get old and forget
If there was a reason
If there's still time
Every old man tells me the same
Live while you're young
Enjoy each day

Look after your neighbours
And they'll look out for you
Don't wait for the world to spin, it's not waiting 'round for anyone
There's no finish line, ticket sign or button to start it all again
Every old man tells me the same
Live while you're young
Enjoy each day
