lyrics

Tethered, ageing, silent friend we're never-ending
There's no incentive in anything we've said and meant
Our ambition is finite and afraid of heights
And our wing-span is as meagre as a non-believer
We've got routines and machines, we've got everything
These are amazing days and we have got it made
You can be certain that the curtains are drawn
And we are in the glow of something comfortable

We've got it made, don't you know we've got it made

And we'll throw away the daylight
In discreet and private delight
As pasty wastes

My tethered, ageing, silent friend, it's just that time again
The world our oyster, let's rejoice with cynicism
We'll have to arrange around our raging social lives
And our full-time jobs as teenage heartthrobs
We've got routines and machines, we've got everything
These are amazing days and we have got it made
You can be certain that the curtains are drawn
And we are in the glow of something comfortable

We've got it made, don't you know we've got it made

And we'll throw away the daylight
In discreet and private delight
As pasty wastes of white
