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
