[00:42.24] Another suburban family morning
[00:48.25] Grandmother screaming at the wall
[00:54.32] We have to shout above the din of our rice crispies
[01:00.27] We can't hear anything at all
[01:06.08] Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
[01:11.96] But we know all her suicides are fake
[01:18.09] Daddy only stares into the distance
[01:23.88] There's only so much more that he can take
[01:30.45] Many miles away something crawls from the slime
[01:35.69] At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake
[01:42.95] Another industrial ugly morning
[01:48.32] The factory belches filth into the sky
[01:54.83] He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
[02:00.88] He doesn't think to wonder why
[02:06.47] The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red-light street
[02:12.44] But all he ever thinks to do is watch
[02:18.47] And every single meeting with his so-called superior
[02:24.16] Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

[02:36.01] Of a dark Scottish loch
[02:38.54]

[03:30.68] Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
[03:36.52] He knows that something somewhere has to break
[03:42.34] He sees the family home now, looming in his headlights
[03:48.52] The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
[03:57.72] Many miles away there's a shadow on the door
[04:02.96] Of a cottage on the shore
[04:05.66] Of a dark Scottish lake
[04:19.55] Many miles away
[04:25.51] Many miles away
[04:31.48] Many miles away
[04:37.53] Many miles away
