Young Marble Giants - Cakewalking lyrics

Yesterday we were always laughing

Always good for a laugh in passing

Stepping outside of the rules for asking

Misery passes and so does crying

Just look around

When you feel like dying

Stepping outside of the rules

When trying

Hopeless cases will drag you under

Fiery lovers will make you blunder

Tearing all the rules asunder

Trying to cakewalk but it's too boring

Coming to life at four in the morning

You think you're alive

But then you're just yawning
