Chairman Of The Bored
Mikill Pane Lyrics

Sitting in the house with my trainers on
I'm sitting here being unproductive and unmotivated with no intention of going out.

Winter ain't about so the days are long
Winter boredom has taken over my life, making my days feel longer than they actually are.

We all planned a trip to the beach
My friends and I planned to go out and do something fun.

But I spent too many minutes in the shower so my mates are gone
I took too long getting ready and missed the opportunity to go out with my friends.

They did warn me but I'm a tiny bit vexed
My friends tried to warn me about wasting time, but I'm still a little annoyed at them for leaving me behind.

I'll give 'em all piece of my mind in a text
I plan to angrily confront my friends through a text message.

And if they ring my phone I'll pretend I can't hear it
I won't even answer their calls to avoid admitting my own faults in this situation.

You could probably call it a fight to the death
This situation seems like a life or death matter to me, even though it's not that serious.

As soon as I could talk any sense as a kid
My tendency to be rude and confrontational has been present throughout my entire life.

They said my attitude was beastly it still is
People have always complained about my bad attitude, and it's still a problem for me.

Proof that I was born to be an offensive king
My bad attitude is just a part of who I am and I can't help it.

The only guy ruder then me is prince Philip
My rudeness and bad attitude is pretty extreme, and I can't think of anyone who's worse than me other than Prince Philip.

I'm not sorry that they have to read my nonsense
I don't feel bad about burdening my friends with my complaints and negativity.

I showered for long enough to clean my conscience
I spent a long time in the shower as a way of trying to make myself feel better about wasting time and being unproductive.

And how could I be when they're out by the sea
I can't help but feel jealous and resentful of my friends who are out having fun while I'm stuck at home.

While I'm trying to keep my head above deeper problems
I'm struggling to keep my head above water when it comes to bigger issues in my life, and being bored at home is just adding to my stress.

This is not a happy song
I'm not in a good mood and this song reflects that.

I've got it badly wrong
I messed up and missed out on an opportunity to have fun with my friends.

It's my chance and now it's gone, Wo-oh
I had a chance to go out and do something fun, but I missed it and now it's too late.

It's a nice day for those plans
The weather is good and it would have been a great day to go out and do something fun.

But time waits for no man
I wasted too much time and now it's too late to take advantage.

You're tryna call your gang
I'm trying to reach my friends to see if there's still a chance to join them.

They're lying on the sand
My friends are already at the beach and there's no chance for me to catch up with them.

And if sitting in your house is your business now
I'm so bored that being inactive and unproductive has become my new lifestyle.

And to figure it out, you sent signals out
I was hoping my friends would understand my hints that I wanted to join them, but I wasn't explicit enough in communicating that to them.

But you fear they were ignored
I'm worried that my friends intentionally ignored my hints and decided to leave me behind.

You're the chairman of the bored
I've become the leader of a group of people who are all equally bored and unproductive.

Sitting in the shade as the day drags on
The day is passing by slowly and I'm still stuck at home doing nothing.

Had a cigarette break that was eight fags long
I took a long cigarette break as a way of avoiding my problems and wasting even more time.

The future doesn't look that bright to me
I'm feeling pessimistic about my future and my ability to accomplish anything meaningful.

And it ain't because Pane has Ray-bans on
My negative outlook has nothing to do with anyone else, but is purely a product of my own mindset.

So I've given up, I'm getting sick of calling me mates
I've stopped trying to reach my friends and I'm tired of bothering them with my complaints.

And I'm looking for a heroine, it's all in vain
I'm searching for a solution to my boredom and so far nothing has worked.

It's the wrong day to phone girls, they're fiancees
I'm trying to talk to women as a way of distracting myself, but it's not working out because they're all taken.

I'd give them a ring but they're all engaged
The women I'm interested in are all already in committed relationships, making it impossible for me to satisfy my need for companionship.

Can't go for a ride 'cause my bike's f*cked up
I can't even go for a simple bike ride to pass the time because my bike is broken.

I consult my neighbor and see if he can fix it
I'm so desperate for someone to fix my bike that I'm willing to ask my neighbor for help.

Doesn't think the problem can be solved today
My neighbor doesn't think he can fix the bike quickly, meaning I'm stuck at home even longer.

'Cause it involves more labour than a Miliband trip
The bike is so badly broken that it will take a lot of work to fix, even more than the arduous trips taken by British politician Ed Milliband.

I give up all hope
I'm feeling completely hopeless and like there's no way to salvage the day.

It gets dramatic
I'm feeling emotional and like the situation is much worse than it actually is.

I even watch a couple of soaps
I'm so bored that I'm resorting to watching soap operas on TV just to pass the time.

Then a girl calls back and says "can we meet in an hour?"
Suddenly, an opportunity arises for me to do something productive and fulfilling.

I'm guessing I'll be needing a shower
I need to get ready quickly for this opportunity to do something, so I'll likely need to take another shower.

I'm searching for a way to make things right
I'm trying to find a way to remedy my situation and stop feeling so bored and unproductive.

All I've been doing so far is wasting time
I've been unproductive and wasting time, making my situation worse.

So instead of going hunting for action
Rather than trying to force something to happen, I'm going to wait for opportunities to come up organically.

I'll just sit right here and wait for something to happen
I'm going to be patient and wait for an opportunity to do something productive or fulfilling to arise.
