I must have got up about twenty to seven Had a shower and had breakfast And had a couple of pieces of toast You know, forced it down Then had a cup of coffee It was pouring with rain And I thought oh God You know, good old England I get this writer's block It comes as quite a shock And now I'm stuck between A hard place and the biggest rock In my own head consumed I sit back in my room It's like the tapestries of life Get tangled in the loom I'm like a butterfly Caught in a hurricane My pulse is quickenin' As my heart plays a new refrain I'm lovin' Mary Jane Flyin' with Lois Lane On board a bullet train Don't know yet if I'm glad I came Don't know yet if I'm glad I came (Obviously this helped me I think) Don't know yet if I'm glad I came Don't know yet if I'm glad I came (I always hoped that it would happen) (But I never thought it really would) Sometimes at night I think too much About life and love and music and stuff I mustn't sort of build My hopes was too high I'm livin' in the past My clock's an hour fast Should really go and make a coffee But I can't be arsed I've lost my mobile phone You'll have to call my home On second thoughts, just leave a message When you hear the tone My grimy windows show The early morning glow Another day, another dollar In my one man show I'm lovin' Mary Jane Flyin' with Lois Lane On board a bullet train Don't know yet if I'm glad I came Don't know yet if I'm glad I came (Obviously this helped me I think) Don't know yet if I'm glad I came Don't know yet if I'm glad I came (I always hoped that it would happen) (But I never thought it really would) I fell out with Mary Jane I don't speak to Lois Lane And I missed that bullet train But now I know I'm glad I I fell out with Mary Jane I don't speak to Lois Lane And I missed that bullet train But now I know I'm glad I I fell out with Mary Jane I don't speak to Lois Lane And I missed that bullet train But now I know I'm glad I I fell out with Mary Jane I don't speak to Lois Lane And I missed that bullet train But now I know I'm glad I came But now I know I'm glad I came
