[Verse 1]

Over the weekend I have an epiphany

It’s such a privilege to live in this city

With all you people so well-intentioned

And all of those that we fail to mention

Woke up this morning and I found god

Went to church, walked my dog

Put on a wash and did some boxing in the park

I don't sleep so I fight the dark


[Pre-Chorus]

And it shines so bright here I must be in heaven

The sun shines so bright I must be in heaven


[Chorus]

A thousand days reduced to none

A hundred lifetimes lived in one

A thousand days washed in sin

I catch a bite, and reel it in


[Verse 2]

The nanny state looks after me

I work so hard for place to sleep

And my friends love one another

And my family love one another

I go to the uni in Leicester

I haven’t been to a single lecture

I blame my parents that I am stupid

Nobody loves me and I blame cupid


[Pre-Chorus]

And it shines so bright I must be in heaven

The sun shines so bright I must be in heaven


[Chorus]

The lakes are filled with acrid waters

Let's save the world for our sacred daughters

One man speaks out through silence

Peaceful protests turn violent


[Verse 3]

Over the weekend I had an epiphany

There’s nothing left for me in this city

How can I change the world if I cannot speak?

If I've got no arms then how can I eat?

This morning when I asked god

All he did was reply with a nod

But that doesn’t work when it’s an open question

I further probed but not a single suggestion came
