[00:00.191]Here I am again
[00:02.252]Here I am sitting in the waiting room
[00:05.383]Waiting for an appointment
[00:07.389]That I had booked six months ago
[00:10.304]I'm feeling very low
[00:12.444]Yes, I was shitting bricks
[00:14.155]At the prospect of existence without you
[00:17.182]And so I gave it one more go
[00:20.236]But my story didn't stick
[00:22.605]And suddenly it clicked
[00:24.594]Some allergies you tolerate and some habits, you just have to kick
[00:36.673]I saw you on your back
[00:38.966]Amongst the peanut shells
[00:40.960]That were scattered on the floor of the big top
[00:44.457]Right next to the overwhelming sense of impending doom
[00:49.279]But no one even asked or mentioned anything to me about the elephant in the room
[00:55.471]When suddenly it clicked
[00:57.424]Some allergies you tolerate and some habits, you, yeah
[01:01.567]You gotta bite the bullet and get it fixed
[01:03.471]You gotta get it seen to, so see to it
[01:05.646]That the story sticks
[01:06.592]That the story sticks
[01:07.655]That the story sticks
[01:08.696]That the story sticks
[01:09.691]You gotta bite the bullet and get it fixed
[01:11.776]You gotta get it seen to, so see to it
[01:13.825]That the story sticks
[01:14.804]That the story sticks
[01:15.822]That the story sticks
[01:16.911]That the story sticks, ah!
[01:22.297]You always said that you'd both met and fell in love at the circus
[01:24.983]And that's why you loved animals so much
[01:27.096]So much so that you'd bought a big dog with little ears and called it 'dumbo'
[01:31.164]Which was a joke that got less and less funny every time
[01:34.035]Obviously you brought the dog along that night
[01:36.724]When you showed up otherwise alone, to my dinner party
[01:39.500]Having already rung ahead to ensure that all of my dishes
[01:43.287]Had been prepared in a completely nut-free environment
[01:46.385]Now quipping that it was for the sake of your 'imaginary' husband
[01:49.978]Because several years on from the wedding that none of us were invited to
[01:53.689]We still hadn't met him, even though you always said he was coming
[01:56.931]Before suddenly he couldn't make it
[01:58.623]Because he worked away a lot with work
[02:00.573]But mainly because he didn't really exist
[02:03.063]And you broke down in tears in my kitchen
[02:05.277]Certain he was seeing somebody else
[02:07.603]How reckless we'd all been to tolerate your fabricated reality
[02:11.113]But until then I didn't have the guts
[02:13.037]To put an end to the ever maddening scenes
[02:15.151]So with a solemn nod and totemic silence
[02:18.137]I walked over to the cupboard where I kept the snacks
[02:20.596]Took a pinch of dry roast dust from the loose pegged bag
[02:24.582]Sprinkled it into the upturned palms of your trembling hands
[02:27.935]And said
[02:28.741]'If you just rub some of this
[02:30.132]Round the rim of his can then no one will know
[02:32.542]But we'll all understand'
[02:34.509]It takes real guts to fake being nuts
[02:36.792]And it takes real nuts to break fake guts
[02:47.856]You gotta bite the bullet and get it fixed
[02:49.858]You gotta get it seen to, so see to it
[02:52.047]That the story sticks
[02:53.022]That the story sticks
[02:54.028]That the story sticks
[02:55.069]That the story sticks
[02:56.079]You gotta bite the bullet and get it fixed
[02:58.103]You gotta get it seen to, so see to it
[03:00.137]That the story sticks
[03:01.134]That the story sticks
[03:02.256]That the story sticks
[03:03.399]That the story sticks
[03:05.288]Because stories that don't stick
[03:06.340]Mean someone's bound to twig
[03:08.379]Your alibis cooperate or they will be
[03:11.627]Fed to all the pigs
