Magazine - Song From Under The Floorboards

I am angry
I am ill and
I'm as ugly as sin
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking
I know the meaning of life
it doesn't help me a bit
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it

This is a song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
By force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact

I know the highest and the best
I accord them all due respect
But the brightest jewel inside of me
Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity

I used to make phantoms I could later chase
Images of all that could be desired
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings

And then I just got tired
