Malcolm Middleton The King Of Bring lyrics

I'm halfway between useless and potential
I'm all the way traveled from hope
There's no one leading me down this road
All the wrong turns have been my own

Did you know that I'm telepathic?
When I walk in the room, I know
All eyes turn towards me
Everyone wants me to go

I'm only happy when I'm sad
And my good times are all bad
And my best years have all left me along with you
When I'm up, I'm still down, and my smile is my frown
I'm a clown, I'm still falling away from you

My hallway is fraught with dangers
It's peopled by memories and ghosts
An apparition sits on my laundry
Laughing and eating my toast

I don't lock the door at night anymore
I've no one to keep safe
Pancakes gone, kissing gone
Along with the smile on my face

I'm only happy when I'm sad
And my good times are all bad

And my best years have all left me along with you
When I'm up, I'm still down, and my smile is my frown
I'm a clown, I'm still falling away from you

I regret all my regrets
I forget I forget
I forget all my regrets
I regret all I forget

I'm just like a bad actor falling
Falling in love with you
You know I'd do anything for you
What do you want me to do?

I've burnt all my bridges and I'm stranded
I'm joking on my own
I'm wider than the Atlantic
The distance between us grows

I'm only happy when I'm sad
And my good times are all bad
And my best years have all left me along with you
When I'm up, I'm still down, and my smile is my frown
I'm a clown, I'm still falling away from you
