The Daily Grind

from Moquettes by The Pattern Store

lyrics

Brew the tea, and the porridge too
Glance at the grey, and wish it was blue - I'd
Rather be waking by the coast
Instead of dousing cremated toast
Fortified against the gale
To set off for the morning trail
My daily grind will make my day
When the barista brings my soy latte

The dream career you had in mind
Is what I do
With the daily grind

All these pastries cost a bomb
And the TwitBook Massive do go on
The indefensible to defend
While one more pop-star bucks a trend
I blinked round half-past-ten, and swear
That hipster changed his facial hair
The day-job calls, with dreams of wealth
This famous blog won't write itself

about

The Pattern Store UK

60s-tinged English-ish guitar pop, with anachronistic elements and a pinch of whimsy. Think Beatles, Kinks, Bonzo Dog Band, Kevin Ayers, Cleaners From Venus, etc.
