about

Sometime in 2012, my friend Tom Astill called me from a cafe. Tom's a hungry guy and he stopped in for lunch by himself. Reportedly, at the same time as this happened, the song 'All By Myself' by Meatloaf came on the radio. I started this song at that point and built outwards.

lyrics

I could've drank ten litres of orange juice that day
In a sad and underwhelming bit to wash away the taste of watching you fumbling through the last trimester of your pregnant pause.
You said: "I don't think we can do this anymore"

With Blacktown in the distance, and sulphur in the air
Dioxide, or die inside? I decide there's no distinction there
I sat in a cafe and 'All By Myself' played and the irony was not lost on the waitress.
She said: "I don't think you can eat here anymore"

It's not as if you have wrecked me for the entirety of time
I mean, it sucks. It's f u c k e d.
But I will not be set aside for later
I'm worth greater than this, or any other setting sum

I really drank four litres of orange juice that day
A citrus litmus with my breakfast; a pulpy and paltry buffet of lukewarm food
I thought that you'd be more receptive than you've been heretofore
You said: "I don't think we can do this anymore"
