The Power (Skit) Lyrics by Nimmo

The Power

2019

[Spoken]
My back’s in pain
I’m paid in vain
Like 8.50 an hour
Standing at the counter
Giving straight girls my advice on life
I’m reminded of the power
The power, the power, the power
And I’m selling cheap a portion
Of my dignity because boredom
Well it drives my mind
To the weakest kind
Of a coyness built for the boardroom
I had dreams when I was 16
Yeah, my best friend was Morrissey
Our politics, they never alligned
A harsh breath on my warm mind
You woke each and every last fight
Carried me away in your limelight
Hands behind my head
Earnest even when dead
An ego I believed in
But your words confirmed a legacy
Inside the drunkest side of me
Sober I was over
Everything that confronted me
I disappeared then I woke up
In an England painted perfectly
In greys and blacks and blues and golds
Of a sense of humour from my story told
A blanket of romance
Was all I had to feel romantic
So I’ll stand and pick this fruit
And swallow juice
Because it’s truth
And I’m forever charming, forever ill
I’ll pamper nothing
Even when these wheels
They drive, drive, drive
They drive me through these hills
(That’s the power)
They drive, drive, drive
That’s the power (Yeah)
That’s my power
