The Movie

The Movie Lyrics

Scene one
We see a man in his forties
He's sat at the kitchen table
Dressed in a kermit the frog onesie
He's staring into a photograph
In which he and she laugh in front of the portuguese sunset
Action

I recall what's happening here
You saw a lifeguard on the pier
You said hey looks it's Louis Theroux
I said it's pronounced Tha roo
Xs are tricky and he's got better things to do
Than saving me and you

[Chorus]
This is the ?
And into the strangeness
This is the land going out of my mind
Again I'm stranded
But it feels just like a movie

Scene Two
A closeup of the bathroom mirror shows a refleciton of the man
He is repeatedly singing himself the last line of happy birthday
Until he stops
Action

Where's my f**king cake?
I'll share a piece with my big mistake
Tell the town I'm cooking again
You can find me at albert square
Talking to God but no one's there
Help me brother
I'm back where it's chasing, back where it's chasing now

[Chorus]
This is the ?
And into the strangeness
This is the land going out of my mind
Again I'm stranded
But it feels just like a movie

I'm sorry you're hurt and that I'm the one who hurt you
Couldn't have done this three weeks before I spent a million pounds on your air fryer?
I was trying to stay
You were planning to leave

It's not the same
Some of us stay the same
Well I didn't like me
Now when I look at you I can't say it and mean it
Say what?
I love you
[Chorus]
This is the ?
And into the strangeness
This is the ?
Again I'm stranded
