Sugar Plum Lyrics by Courtney Barnett
First thought, heard it all before
Not gonna get far
with an attitude like that,
It’s hard to break a habit
when it’s just so comfortable
And I don’t know
anybody round here
I sincerely hope to settle in
Let’s not, make a big thing about it
They say make hay
while the sun shines
But sometimes I
wanna just lay around
Read a book, eventually
forget about everything
I’m in over my head,
yeah I’m over my head x2
And I know I got a sensitive heart
I’m always picking it apart
when I throw it to the vultures
They don’t want it either,
probably too sincere
Up here above the clouds and the crowds
Floating on the outside looking in
It seems like everybody’s struggling
You’re either drowning in the deepest sea
Or drowning in the kitchen sink
Either way it all feels like drowning
I’m in over my head,
yeah I’m over my head x4
Now I’m looking forward
to some brighter days
Coz I like the way
that the shadows are falling
across the trees
And I sure could use just
a couple degrees more
And I’m doing fine,
but my brain feels fried
Maybe you were right,
I’m watching too much
TV every night, yeah
By the way, I just wanna say, yeah
yknow those words
don’t come easy to me so I’m
looking for a little leniency
Ooooh, ooooh, And I write it down
on the back of my hand
coz I’m afraid that I won’t remember
Ooooh, ooooh, And I learn to breathe again
and then when it’s over,
it’ll be a new day there singing
Ooooh, ooooh, And I learn to breathe again
and then when it’s over,
it’ll be a new day they’re singing
Ooooh, ooooh, and I learn to breathe again
and then when it’s over, it’ll be a new day
