Well the nurse took four different needles
To get any blood out of me
And she got help after three with tears in her eyes So I knew I was empty
Figuratively
That I live now alone is no surprise If you really want to know me
If you want to tell the truth
If you've got to find
That thing inside
That no one ever could I think,
We could be best friends
And then kiss
And ruin everything. Well I left my home after midnight
And no one was around
And Orion looked down vengefully on me Now my heart is that giant, blind hunter
And I am lost forever
Still visible at night though far away If you really want to know me
If you want to tell the truth
If you've got to find
That thing inside
That no one ever could I think,
We could be best friends
And then kiss
And ruin everything. Honey if I seem lonely it's only cos I am
Kind of an actor
Kind of a liar
I am Orion I am Orion.

If ever I complain
About the love that you give me
And if I throw it all away
Then I hope you forgive me But you left months ago
And I hope you know
That I wish you would come home I'm a wrecker. If ever I'm away
With the boys in the band
And you don't hear from me
Well I hope you understand I'm a criminal
With a wrecking ball
And I wish I could come home I'm a wrecker. I'm a criminal
With a wrecking ball
And I wish I could come home. But you don't wanna know. I'm a wrecker.

As a young man
I thought I knew everything
I thought I knew how to live
Completely clueless
When two thousand and five was the worst year of my life
You made it good
When I thought no-one could But I was just a boy when I met you
Shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to On the night you left
I heard everything you’d say
I crumbled and crawled away
I woke up in an alleyway Cos that night I raised my fist and in my fist I raised my drink
I drank to broken limbs
To bloodied lips
To losing all you thought you wanted But I was just a boy when I met you
I shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to
It was two thousand and five I thought this loss might be my life
Oh but I was just a boy when I met you Seventeen and you think you know it all
Nineteen and you think you know it all
But I knew I was just a boy when I met you.

On the day I graduated
I passed out on the floor
You mean there's more?
I've done everything you said
I don't want to intern
It turned out meritocracy
Was a lie
As a philosophy it don't work
They just told us that
To keep us in school You bet your drilled back teeth
I was looking at you
Picking fights on the tube
Cos you're feeling so blue
It's not just the scars you can see
It's the scars on the inside
Inside of me My generation
Doesn't mean that much to me
And this Golden Age thinking
Means I'm often unhappy I've got a little dark room
At the back of the house
I've been saving my pay
But it's wearing me down
And I can't afford anything
Increasingly I opt out of everything I've had a million jobs
I'll have a million more
Wish I was successful
But I sleep on the floor
Work all my life
For family
So that my kids
Can be like me
The indignity, the humanity
Oh the horror, the horror, ah Bartleby
Throw me into a tube train
Pay me the minimum wage
So I will never earn more than my parents
I'd prefer it not to be this way but My generation
Doesn't mean that much to me
And this Golden Age thinking
Means I'm often unhappy Hidem Brook
You've got the look
Of a man I'd like to be
Hidem Brook
You've got the look
Of a man… of a real man My generation
Doesn't mean that much to me
And this Golden Age thinking
Means I'm often unhappy.
