I’m not sure where this one came from. Something about working in Micky D’s or somewhere similar. Another song that just came out and never really got ‘worked on’. I think I came up with this in the studio but had to go away and learn to play it (before forgetting it again).
lyrics
My Desire
I nurse my desire as I sign on for hire
I know the cure is cool thinking
I burst my desire as I clean out the fryer
It keeps my world from collapsing
And I know that you don’t notice me
And I know that my time’s nearly free
And I know you don’t care what I do
And there’s no-one here to take away – my desire
I curse my desire from waist height or higher
To save my soul from shrinking
Sweet Mary Jane in a cheap burger chain
She flew in from the 60’s
And I know that you don’t notice me
And I know that my time’s nearly free
And I know you don’t care what I do
And there’s no-one here to take away – my desire
I keep my stars inactive
