Lionel Lyrics by Slagatha Christie

Thomas The Skank Engine - EP

2018

Theres nothing like a back pedestrian crossing
To remind you of just how big the world is
Like that lady with her kids
Who'll never know my name
So I walk away
I walk away

Theres nothing quite like living alone
To remind you that you don't matter
I could be naked with no shirt
And I like that so I'll stay
Yeah, I like that so I'll stay

It's not a life style its a mess
Better people do much more with so much less
When you say I'm not a burden, I know you mean well
But how come you never answer your phone, when I call you?
And I'm trying so hard not to make your life any worse
But somehow I always make it worse
I make it worse

Theres nothing like a back pedestrian crossing
To remind you just how small you are
But I'm still in the way
I'm still in the way

Theres nothing quite like visiting home
To remind you that you're not as successful as your older brother
We're not staying
And I drive away again
I drive away
I'll drive away again

No I'm not going back to Sydney until I know when I leave again
And I hate that I do this to my mum and my dad and my family and my friends
And when you say I'm not a burden
I know you mean well
But how come you never answer your phone, when I call you?
And I'm trying so hard to not make your life any worse
But somehow I always make it worse

And I'll keep beating that horse and I'll pray that its not quite dead yet
And I'll take my pills everyday so that I don't even have to feel any of it
Yeah, and I'm too big yet I'm still so small and I don't matter no
I don't matter at all
It's not a life style, It's a mess

And when you say that I'm not a burden
I know that I am
