lyrics

Arise Sir Richard
It rings so true
Won't you tell us the story of the tea towels?
Arise Sir Richard
Our appetite for life is like a combination of
Self-fulfilling prophecies mixed with frustrations

Spill your drinks if you wanna stay away from the booze
The silly sauce
This would be the third bottle of the night
You've had two with your wife
The first one, you were witty
The second, it got blurry
Now it's getting heavy
Too easy to feel sorry
Do you really think you're ready too?

Arise Sir Richard
There's always sunshine when we're together
Arise Sir Richard
Flowers will grow in real speed
To get things done
The shortest romance happens when you're wired
Until the wee hours of the morning
Or when you're quietly lying on your deathbed

Stay with me if you wanna quit drinking
This could have been the third bottle of the night
You've had two with your wife
The first one, you were witty
The second, it got blurry
Now it's getting heavy
Too easy to feel super sorry
Do you really think you're ready too?

Dreaming you take my hand
I cannot forget you believe in me
Dreaming you take my hand
I cannot believe you forgive me
Dreaming you take my hand
I cannot forget you believe in me
Until the wee hours of the morning
Or when you're quietly lying on your deathbed
