The Jazz Butcher Lyrics Still In The Kitchen

Lyrics

Still In The Kitchen
You can try, It's right that you do
In your own way, I'm sure you know that's true
It's not easy, cliché upon cliché!
But so attractive, when everyday is a Sunday
And I truly believed it couldn't happen to me
Yes I truly believed it couldn't happen to me
But where the sheep once played there's only wheat now
Staring stupidly at my feet now
And everything I ever wanted is still in the kitchen
Be lonely, you're already alone anyway
Enjoy it, why shouldn't you enjoy the things you do?
Celebrate it, up in your room the world's so far away
No one will ever know
Be lonely, no one loves you quite the way you do
And you're so sure it's true it couldn't happen to you
You're so damned sure it couldn't happen to you
Just like the ballad of Lucy Jordan
You take all the risks you think you can afford and
And everything you ever wanted is still in the kitchen
You get down to the bottom with those frosty autumn mornings,
Metropolitian bars,
You'll be staring like a scientist into your glass
And everything you ever wanted will be still in the kitchen
You say it's fatalistic but I don't know
I believe that when there's magic it will surely show
And everything I ever wanted is still in the kitchen
Max Eider : Everything I ever wanted is still in the kitchen
Yes, everything we ever wanted is still in the kitchen

Distressed Gentlefolk
We were deeply confused young men when we made this record. Max, Jones and I had all been drinking dangerously for over a year now. Generally, we had it down in concert. In just about every other department, however, we were coming to bits, individually and collectively, and to me this record actually shows the morbid state of things at the time.
