Intro (Count-in. Guitar riff.) You asked me... Halfway through a Tesco. --- Verse 1 You were buying oven chips, I was staring at the cheese. Someone dropped a birthday cake In aisle twenty-three. The manager applauded. Nobody knew why. A little kid was wearing A pirate hat to buy milk. Seemed fair enough. --- Chorus What's the point of living? If you never miss your train. If you've never eaten ice cream Standing in the rain. What's the point of living? If you're always on time. I'd rather get completely lost... Than walk a perfect line. --- Verse 2 A pigeon stole a sausage roll Outside the betting shop. The bloke it belonged to Just laughed and let it trot. A bus drove past with nobody on it. Still stopped anyway. Maybe empty things Need somewhere to be. --- Middle Eight I don't need answers. I've met people with answers. They're exhausting. --- Chorus What's the point of living? If your shoes stay clean all year. If you've never made a wrong turn Just to see what might appear. What's the point of living? If every plan goes right. Some of my best memories Started with, "Well... This isn't ideal." --- Instrumental Break (Bass takes the lead while guitars bounce around it. Handclaps and gang vocals repeat: "No idea! No idea!") --- Verse 3 Remember that orange traffic cone? Still lives in your spare room. The sunglasses weren't ours. The caravan disappeared too soon. The dog left the roundabout. Summer finally packed. Funny how the things you lose Are always waving back. --- Final Chorus What's the point of living? I don't think anybody knows. Maybe it's singing badly With the windows fully closed. What's the point of living? Here's my best attempt: Wrong roads. Cheap chips. Good friends. Half a tank. And enough stories... To get home. --- Outro (Music drops to bass and one guitar.) "So..." "Did we ever figure it out?" ... "Not really." (Full band crashes back in for one final chord.)
