‘I'm 37'

I'm 37…
My flat is chrome and white
Got a Mondeo in my drive
And Dubai in my sights
Yeah, I get on
I'm alright…
Jack Bauer!
Gonna watch ‘24' season five on Blu-ray tonight
With the volume on 99

In the drawers, comedy socks
On the floor, an abandoned Xbox
Now I've got a Wii…
I'm a kidult, me!
Don't really have friends, just office mates
Don't go out much these days
I grew out of that phase…

I'm 37…
Music's a huge passion for me
Bought the latest Keane CD
For the car, the other week
Reckon it's their best one!
I'm too old for it all really…
Reminds me of being 23…
Ooh, Kula Shaker and Ocean Colour Scene –
What insanity!

I quite like the idea of God
Got some of his stuff on my iPod
Nano…
Bought a white grand piano
It's like the one John Lennon used!
Haven't learned to play, always on the move…
I really dig the blues…

I'm 37…
Gonna watch Chelsea play abroad
In surround sound…love the roar
Of the crowd…don't really like football…
Bought a chalet in Devon
Whereabouts? I'm not sure…
Bristol way, I would have thought…?
Gonna deck it out with pine floors
And a plasma screen on every wall…
Pickaxe! Pickaxe!

Sex? I've got all the gear!
Drugs? I've had my wild years…
A good mate of mine
Hits me up with the odd line
Children? Maybe, but not yet –
Still wanna go to Thailand, and Tibet
And think of the expense…think of the expense!

What wouldn't you give
To have the chance to live
A life like mine?
I'm doing fine!
And what wouldn't you do
Just to spend a few
Hours in my shoes?

I'm 37…
Been asking the big questions
Like ‘where am I heading?',
‘Why are we here?' and ‘is there a heaven?'
Seen my GP for depression
Been given some pills and a few sessions
With a shrink – we talk about the weather,
My alcoholic intake and the recession…

What wouldn't you give
To have the chance to live
A life like mine?
I'm doing fine!
And what wouldn't you do
Just to spend a few
Hours in my shoes?

What wouldn't you give
To have the chance to live
A life like mine?
I bet you'd die…
