lyrics

We’re all slaves to the time
They called it a watch, because it watches our lives slip by.
Don’t fact check that online.

Now you’re lying there in bed and you find yourself setting
The same alarm to wake you up at 7.09, gotta catch that 7.36 (service to Stoke)
Do you maybe wanna give yourself just slightly more time?
Oh wow, hmm, gee let me think…

I would rather die than be awake for the nine extra minutes which I know would make me on time,
I would rather dive into a vatful of live bees than conceptualise being that organised
I would rather die! (i rather try to make love to a fire)
Die! (I rather take a bath with my hairdryer!)

No, I don’t fear sacrifice
But don’t make me a martyr, don’t worship me just because
I would lay down my life
To avoid getting up from the sofa to reach for the remote and

Every time I’m drafting up an email I see that little tag at end saying ‘Sent from my iPhone’
Every time I stop, and I highlight and delete it
I’m sure that there’s a straightforward fix

But I would rather lick ice with both my balkls in a vice than find the setting on my phone which would turn it off
I’d rather have my nephew’s diaper as a drink than be slightly forward-thinking or nice to future me at all
I would rather die! (the zebra crossing’s just a bit too far)
Die! (i’d rather cross at this blind corner part)
Die! (it’s worth the risk of getting hit by -

ANGEL:
So you made it up to heaven, now
You can laze it up, you’ll never
have to look ahead with prophetic vision
to see if you might get future stress from a present
Decision that you’re making. Now let’s get your booty through those pearly gates man
All you have to do to
Pass into the realm of the deep forever
Is give your true opinion on the haircut I just gave ya.

I would rather die than tell a stranger that I am not quite sure if I like the way they cut my hairs
Jazz is giving thumbs up to the angel, “i love it”

I would rather deny myself the Eternal Life than have to suffer a minor present awkwardness.
I would rather die!

Jazz is falling from heaven, slowly through the air, he looks really blissful and content about it

He would rather, He would rather, die, die
He would rather, He would rather end his life

Jazz is landing on earth, sinking down into hell, enduring some horrible tortures, he looks content still

He would rather, He would rather, die, die
He would rather, He would rather end his life

This track really inspired me to live to my fullest potential. I’ve finally become the best version of me through the power of eye contact. Unfortunately, choosing an Ancient omnipresent Multi-being as my role model might have caused unforeseen consequences. EmuEgg67
