Getting Out And About – Written Thursday 2nd October 1997 (Aged 22)

Getting Out And About

it’s about time i picked myself up
and got me out to meet people
the one i lost,
or never had,
depending on the view
rang the other day
to say, i still need you
it made me almost cry
it’s a long time since i heard that words
i used to fear those words
they seemed more like a curse
especially when i was young
and high on teenage fun
yet those words would be spoken
and the girlfriend would be gone
and i would be heartbroken
at least for a day or two
i used to meet people
it used to happen all the time
and lately i have become holed in
cut out the freefall freewill
and cheap own brand gin
getting out and about but where to begin
