07. Big Boy

[Intro — low chant] Big boy. Sit. [Verse 1] Bought a little backbone for a monthly fee Man inside my phone says he’s ashamed of me Wake up at five, put the sadness in a shake If you haven’t bought a boat by June, you’re making a mistake I took a freezing shower. Still can’t answer when she calls Apparently the next course is the one that grows the balls [Chorus] Big boy, big boy Who taught you to bark? All those teeth And you’re scared of the dark Big boy, big boy King of the room Why’s your little kingdom Got no room for two? [Post-Chorus — deadpan backing vocals] Woof, woof Good boy [Verse 2] Now I call my breakfast fuel and every friend a threat Make a little speech about respect and get upset Got a jawline in the mirror, got a monologue prepared I can talk for twenty minutes without saying that I’m scared Brother, I’m exhausted. Is there somewhere I can sit? He says, “Buy the next instalment.” I say, “Fuck this.” Click. [Chorus] Big boy, big boy Who taught you to bark? All those teeth And you’re scared of the dark Big boy, big boy King of the room Why’s your little kingdom Got no room for two? [Bridge — sung plainly] Take the crown off for a minute It’s leaving marks across your face You can sit here being nobody I won’t ask you what you make [Final Chorus] Big boy, big boy Who taught you to bark? All those teeth And you’re scared of the dark Big boy, big boy King of the room Why’s your little kingdom Got no room for two? [Outro — spoken] No refunds? Thought so.
