about

a slightly bitter one about a mate with less than exemplary listening skills, me returning the compliment. Still, not as caustic as "dog on a string".

lyrics

Thankyou for listening, or at least for not talking much. I know you're doing the best that you can. One eye on the barmaid, one ear on the jukebox, thanks for your divided attention. And thanks for sharing your self-obsession, your tragic perception of what really counts, while behind my glasses I'm writing these lyrics - you have my divided attention.
