Nothing Comes

Consternation out of the box

as the conversation runs onto the rocks;

in full expectation nothing comes as a shock.

It's all plain sailing in the dry dock;

it's all downhill from here, in the rubble, taking stock...

with no sense of feeling nothing comes as a shock.

You remind me of the girlfriend I never had:

never fitted the equation, I was never quite one of the lads.

Still I remember that my feelings were always touch and go

once I thought I knew all that, now I just don't know.

The wrap's about to happen, the scene is already blocked,

black-out's already plotted and the cameras are locked:

when everything's over nothing comes as a shock.

I remember that my feelings were always touch and go

once I thought I knew it all, now I just don't know.
