about

Why are privileged white men so miserable?

lyrics

White Cliff

He taught his kids to hate so well
they hate him like they hate themselves;
A curse on the sea! A curse on the sky!
Despite the rain, the reservoir’s dry;
there’s cash in his pocket but he still feels skint;
An authority in things that no longer exist.

Ooh, you could write a book about it all
If it weren’t like hankering for tinned chopped pork.

He’s stuck with hollowed out Dad Rock classics
After The Car Wash: More Than A Keyring;
A Fight At The Opera; a queasy feeling;
No ‘I’ in denial on dead slaves’ shoulders
Wearing their souls like skins hung from branches
Of a strange fruit tree; A future in retreat.

Ooh, you could write a book about it all
the ball’s in the net but isn’t a goal; .

A curse on cloudless skies! He cries:
there’s no poetry in hate and maybe that’s why
He kids himself it’s friendly bantz
For poking dinghies; on glum cliffs he stands
But doesn’t see the teeming sea, the promising sky
And that great novel that he can’t write
Just floated by.

Ooh, you could write a book about it all

Except you didn’t.

Somewhere becoming pain
