lyrics

On the bed at the airport hotel
You were curled up like a question mark
I buttoned my collar
My tie like a noose
As you emptied out the mini bar

And I could still taste you on my tongue
Your body hard and young
On the train into town
I mouth the words repeatedly
If you knew just what you mean to me

I could be better than this
Denial on denial ‘til no integrity exists
That silent resignation
With the words right on my lips
And the feeling maybe baby
This is all that there is
I could be better than this

Well I dream about crashing
On the long drive home
Pull over in the lay by
Change the sim card in my phone
But there’s nothing left to say
Just the sound of your voice
Oh you say I’ll never leave her
Like as if I had a choice

But these words are poison arrows
And I am paralysed by fears
And it gets harder every day
Every night that you’re not here
Well I know they talk behind my back
I Pretend that I can’t hear
About the greedy young queen
And the dirty old queer

I could be better than this
The promise of suburbia
The widening abyss
When I’m laying in the bathtub
With the razor to my wrists
And a list of explanations
She’s gonna give to my kids
I could be better than this

On the bed at the airport hotel
You were curled up like a question mark
I buttoned my collar
My tie like a noose
As you emptied out the mini bar

And I could still taste you on my tongue
Your body hard and young
On the train into town
I mouth the words repeatedly
If you knew just what you mean to me

I could be better than this

about

Louis Brennan London, UK

London-based Dubliner Louis Brennan is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late-stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex, drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate ... more
