Gut Feeling - Malcolm Middleton

I’ve been on the road

I’ve been in the sky

I’ve been on the road

I’ve been in the sky

I’ve been on the road

I’ve been in the sky

I’ve been found flat out face down dying

I’ve been on a drip

I’ve been hip

My ego has soared, crashed, rocked, ignored

And for what?

All I’ve got

Artistic statements for which these bills won’t pay

I don’t have a gut feeling

I don’t have a gut feeling

I don’t have a gut feeling

I’ve got rows and rows of wankers

Inside my head

Shouting my gut feeling down

All the fucking time

Rows and rows of naysayers

Marching with the vampires

A troop of doubting Thomases

In my mind

Decoyed and decaying

My youth decayed

My brow deepens and it all gets heavy

But I’ve looked and looked

No one’s describing my exact condition

So I ponder the omission

I think about booking

That all inclusive

Package with full-board, all aboard

I don’t have a gut feeling

I don’t have a gut feeling

I don’t have a gut feeling

I’ve got rows and rows of wankers

Inside my head

Shouting my gut feeling down

All the fucking time

Rows and rows of naysayers

Marching with the vampires

A troop of doubting Thomases

In my mind

And I worry that my out of sightness

My out of mindness will one day stop me

From having that one good reason

When reasoning fails amidst this hell and hail

I can’t do anything Christmas is nearly here

Then it’ll soon be summer

I can’t do anything, woke up in August

Had lunch in October

There are no words to begin

Just like there’s no place to fit in

I’ve been writing the same song all my life

Insomnia in the kitchen

Stricken, struck by howling lightning

It’s a cycle and there’s no way out of it

Tempered in a fire so flaming

Temper’s all I see

I pretty much hate everyone

Everyone’s a reflection of me

If only you could imagine the person I want myself to be

If only you could imagine the person I want myself to be

Here comes the usual sulk and sigh

Mid task creativity sucked dry

I’m not perfect you know

This isn’t a game

I’ve been on the road

I’ve been in the sky

I’ve been on the road

I’ve been in the sky

I’ve been on the road

I’ve been in the sky

I’ve been found flat out face down dying

I’ve…
