"London Halflife"
(Emily Haines)

Middle-aged
Do the low rise
On the waist
London halflife
Middle-aged
You the low riser
Little over wiser
Today

If you're compromised
Drive your car through the rain
If you've been beaten
Drive your car through the rain
Until you wash off the buzz
Don't pull over till you're sure

One that wanted the floor
One that won't know the street
One that wanted to land
On the hearth with his feet up

Won't watch out
You're only better off in half your life
Overwise wasted
Overwise wasted
House of cards, you fall hard
