lyrics

Automatic helps screens asking for the symptoms
The cursor keeps on blinking how do I type what I'm thinking
I don't understand algorithms so I click on conversation
I'm connected to an online operator, she says her name is Sarah

I look at the clock its half past three on a Friday
she probably thinking of the weekend where she doesn't have to listen
She sounds like shes listening with a hint of boredom
she takes my answers from her questions then she scores them

I score 10 out of 33 she says I'm generally ok,
she asks is there anything else I can do for you today?
I reply no thank you and goodbye, turn back to the automatic help screen
cursor still blinking how do I type what I'm thinking

I close the lid on the computer, suddenly aware of my hunger
There is nothing in the refrigerator so I head out to the store
the aisles are busy with shoppers, everyone avoiding eye contact,
makes me feel more alone than ever.
I get some bread and biscuits, resigned to tea and toast for dinner,
when I see a drinks offer
Every Friday at half past four I do the same thing over and over
Now I think of drink, music and sleep and the end of another week
Put my groceries through an automatic check out,
shop assistant needs to clear the alcohol,
anything else I can do for you today?
I said no, thank you, enjoy your weekend.

Paul Henry Smith Falkirk, UK

Acoustic, electronic, full band, whatever takes my mood. Been crafting music for over 20 years. Still not happy, can you ever write the perfect album?

I'm from Falkirk, I built a small studio with much loved hand me downs and second hand gear.

When I record I get lost in an emotion, it spills onto the disc, sometimes it messy, sometimes its a rather wonderful painting I can keep forever. ... more
