It's been 28 years, it's been 28 years and I'm full of existential fears. Is that normal for my age? I've been to far-off lands. I thought I'd have some kind of plan by now, but I've arrived in no mans land. It's pretty dark down here and there ain't much light. She's never gonna give up without a fight. No she's never gonna give up. We're always staring down the track. Baby where's the point in that? You never know what's around the corner. ‘Cause while we're jogging on the spot the clock is going tick tock, we're missing what's important. It's been 28 years, it's been 28 years and it’s clear that things don't look to good when you've started reading self-help books. I've been to far-off lands. I thought I'd have some kind of plan by now, but my head's still in the clouds, and will I ever want to come back down? Do you know how old the earth is? It's been around since your mum gave birth in fits of screams and destruction. Was it worth it?
