lyrics

I sit on a boring train
pouring out my boring brain.
Valentine’s has been and gone.
Nothing seemed to get me some

Here, the shelf is boring-bare:
barmy lasses, head elsewhere.
Gorgeous pal all coupled up,
I ask her if she’d set me up.
Like a miser she rebuffs.
Asks me why I’d settle up.

I just want a boring love
nothing more I’m thinking of.
Don’t want someone mad as me.
I’m not mad I’m just lonely.

I don’t want a literary lust -
Passions forged of tortured dust.
Keep your prince and chiselled jaws,
your Viennese cathedrals…

I just want a morning breath,
kinky but with morals left.
I want magic in my hands.
Romance up my daily dance.

I just want a kind-biting,
sweet-mannered, crime-fighting
walking cane.

I just want a hug-ploughing,
kiss-sharing, view-wowing
motorbike

I just want a risk-taking,
tea-brewing, piss-taking
pint of ale.

I just want a go-getting,
soft-nagging, load-bearing
sofa bed.

I just want a hand-holding
deep-thinking, hip-shooting
piggy bank.

I just want a boring love
I just want a boring love.

Someone to embrace the wild.
Parties with her inner child.
Sunrise in her lightning eyes…
and blind and blind and blind when it matters.

Markings on her gallowed chin.
Wore a rope but wore it thin.
Resurrected from her hurt.
Tyson Fury in a skirt.

I just want a long-thinking,
heart-facing, song-drinking
set of cards.

I just want a wake-braving,
knee-squeezing, beast-taming
open door.

I just want a wise-branded
crop-sowing, sword-handed
morning sun.

I just want a flirt-mongering,
high-fluting, dirt-loving
path unrun.

I just want a boring love. (x4)
