Waiting For You
SaY saY SaY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting here just waiting for Brexit
Wait long enough I just might get elected
I only eat fish but its all full of plastic
Ain't the modern world just fucking fantastic
Pollution over here and pollution over there
And their fracking over here and their fracking everywhere
Rat tube
Sitting on my roof and I'm watching the rain
Coz I bought a house that was built on a flood plain
I met a polar bear and he said he was homeless
Seen the human race and we're all fucking gormless
Pollution over here and pollution over there
And their fracking over here and their fracking everywhere oh yeah
Rat tube
Pollution over here and pollution over there
And their fracking over here and their fracking everywhere oh yeah
Pollution over here and pollution over there
And their fracking over here and their fracking everywhere oh yeah
Rat Tube
Pollution over here and pollution over there
And their fracking over here and their fracking everywhere oh yeah




Pollution over here and pollution over there
And their fracking over here and their fracking everywhere oh yeah

I find this remix intoxicating... I could compare this feeling to a drug that consumes me and keeps me hooked. It awakes in me a special kind of melancholy, one that tears you apart but also soothes you at the same time. This song feels like two people who are crazy in love with each-other but they know they can't be together. The aching, the longing, the incomparable desire to be with each-other, but at the same time the feeling of inhibition that arises from the timing being way off for them - a piece of art.
