lyrics

'Worse Things Happen At Sea'

My bicycle has been stolen
And this bad day has barely begun
A boy with a spray-can has scribbled
his name on my wall

I feel like I'm running on empty
I've tried everything under the sun
And I'm wasting away on the telephone
And speaking to no-one at all

But worse things happen at sea
Worse things happen at sea
Worse things happen at sea
Than things that happen to me

Nan na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na

I'm bottling up the buses
For the times when one just doesn't come
And I'm waiting in line
For some kind of a sign
That things aren't all coming undone
