His Regrets

from Deadman Road by Venetic ®

about

Someone who has everything but doesn't.

lyrics

He thinks in the past tense so the present won’t count
He makes all the rules, he’s the man of the house
His home is a showcase to show off the wife
She’s a permanent fixture, she won’t go outside
Her skin’s too pale; she would melt in the sun
He imagines she’s frigid coz in bed she’s no fun
So he wanders through tussock with his dogs and his gun
Looking for something to shoot in the fog

Funny how he’s got his life all arranged
Everything in order - nothing’s strange
Every little detail has its place
Nothing’s left to chance, nothing’s left to fate

There’s a fur-lined bidet in every bathroom
A full-length pool and a sauna too
A pool room, bar and widescreen TV
There’s even a library where he never reads
A tennis court and a basketball hoop
A tree-lined drive that provides all their fruit
A fully-fitted kitchen that the wife can’t use
And a satellite dish for the latest world news

But something in his life just don’t feel right
He feels like a blind man crossing a motorway
Dodging left and right and back and forth and running for his life (x 2)

When he needs kicks he goes out on the town
He doesn’t so much drink as funnel it down
He drinks to forget, he drinks to kill dreams
To drown his regrets that his life
has no meaning
