lyrics

i've got a potted history
embroidered on my memory:
got noticed in my twenties
now i'm out on the margins
but that's not really how it is
i was barely on the meter
yet somehow that's the story
i've memorised for parties

i've never been a striver
i don't think i'm a scrounger
feel like i'm being told off
the best already sold off
the screen inside a london cab
depicts another london cab
'my life as a russian doll'
all bets are off

back in the old days
you really loved me
but nothing i do
is good enough now

you think it's easy
to nail a memory
but only old songs
sound good to me now

they cannot say i didn't try
they might just say i shouldn't have tried
i've waited on the sidelines
i want to go much further
you seem to be the right one
my time down here is over
i'm willing to go with you
i want to feel much younger
