lyrics

she talks to me casually and quietly as if we're old friends or exhausted enemies | she reminds me of my patchwork family | we fell in love at our own expense || living well is the best revenge || i can't afford this extravagant meal or the wine i just poured | it is a gift from my future self to nurture the now and the chance of good health | i have to love this mortal coil | life is an engine and living well is the oil | get through today maybe my heart's teeth will mend || living well is the best revenge || tyler turned to me he grinned as he chewed and asked what the poor people do | i laughed out loud at the exquisite irony | lucky for us that art slays money | love slays fear and supersedes art || living well is revenge for the heart || our history's my friend | i can know about now if i learn about then | peasants revolt when there's enough of them | i want better for my unborn but i'm almost content | living to work | living for the weekend || living well is the best revenge || my favourite war is one waged with friends that rages 'til dawn | some of them fight harder than the others do | weaponise their drink and drugs and dance to their own groove | in the bubble i'm safe from the world's pain | forget the war and politics that i can't vote against | stevie will dj | we sharpie sleeping friends || living well is the best revenge || i thought i was free but i can go nowhere without any money | making a living don't forget to make a life | or hear the charming insult that one day we'll all die | i recognise the good times | the yellow lights of paradise | a failed plan's disguise | i want to go surrounded by my friends || living well is the best revenge | living well is the best revenge
