Fever Dream On The 13​:​00 To Manchester

about

Based on a train journey I had, coming back from London after visting my friend Ed and playing one of my favourite gigs of all time. I got an ear infection somehow, and spent most of the ride in agony, praying I'd slip into a fever dream (my fever dreams are fantastic) and just imagine the whole thing was way more interesting than it was.

No such luck.

lyrics

Tilt your head back
Ignore the pain, try to relax
Do your best not to freak out
Pretend you know what the guy next to you is talking about

Who knew that an ear infection could knock you this bad?
But this is the most interesting train journey you’ve ever had
Cos Michael McIntyre’s sat across from you
And him and his wife are dining on Jimmy Choos

While a voice screams
This is just a dream
That’s not Daenerys Targarean spilling her coffee
Maybe you should get some sleep?

Temperature begins to rise higher
As Boris Johnson hands you a flyer
For his new velociraptor store
But you’ve heard it all before

Your fever’s getting worse
When a dragon hands you its purse
Filled with tiny little eyes
That whisper hateful lies

While a voice screams
This is all just a dream
That’s not Richard Branson bitchslapping Sean Bean
Maybe you should get some sleep?

Just pray to Christ
That you don’t die
Cos that seems kind of likely now

Hope that someone’s looking out for you
Cos you just don’t know
If you’ll even make it home

Close your eyes and doze
Half an hour goes by like the world just froze
Awaken at the station, you’ve arrived
And thankfully you’re still alive

And the voice sighs
Gives you a mental high five
Reminds you that you didn’t see Tom and Jerry setting fire to the band 5ive
And asks how you’re gonna get home
And you don’t know
