New single for 2024, heralding the Tenth Collection

lyrics

I need to clean the floor

Don’t foreclose my eyes to open
Finding you are there
I can’t write lines romanticising
Presence isn’t care
Push me, push me, push me, push me
Can we stop the train
Passengers and guards object
And here we go again

The feet don’t touch the floor before
The plans obstruct the day
Forget them, take the medication
Glitter fish at bay
Watching, watching, watching, watching
See the moment gone
See the window, make a chart
Before the show moves on

And it never was enough
And there’s always something more
And this never is enough

I go into the kitchen
And I need to clean the floor
I go into the bathroom
And I need to clean the floor
I go into the bedroom
And I need to clean the floor
I go into the kitchen
I need to clean the floor

And it never was enough…
I forget that there is time
I forget that there is rest
I forget that there is love

Someone you can follow
And they tell you what to do
Someone to provide instructions
Follow, follow you
Someone who can understand
And keep you on the wall
Someone who can glue the pieces
When you fall

And it never was enough…
I forget that there is time…
