The Air Conditioner's Song

from Songs from Apt​.​1E by Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures

/

lyrics

I am the air conditioner
Manually Installed
resting on a paint tray shelf
I won't go quietly
into the good night
but I'm there
when you need
some time to yourself

I am the last minute commuter
get out of my way
I've got to make the six
but in this case
I'm also the doors
and the others will just stare
as I swear
to get my kicks

Like the coins in the fountain
some are wishes
some are rust
when you spend
all your time in the water
how can you know who to trust

I am the vampire in the office
away from the window
I've no need to tan
in here the photocopier's
a drunken tap dancer
you have to find the music
where you can

Instrumental

like all the pieces of paper
some are clues
and some lead you astray
I hope all the pieces of paper
burn one day

I am the United States Road Atlas
I was just another thing you
needed for your scheme
but now We'll carve ourselves a place
into the coastline of Maine
because the cardboard in the rubbish
read "Be all you can dream"

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
