The Bedroom Philosopher - Party In My Head lyrics

(Purple monkey dishwasher) There's a party in my head Not everyone's invited It's supposed to be a small gathering Of my best emotions But confidence insisted On inviting along modesty And they're friends with insecurity so now Every f**ing inner loser is here Awkwardness asks intellect What she does at uni Cynicism makes fun Of optimism's dancing Anger and apathy Have become the best of friends Lust and guilt have been up In the bathroom for ages Creativity and motivation turn up smashed They're threatening to break up again They do this every time High and low self-esteem both agree to a nudie run Loneliness lurks outside he's made up His own drinking game for one In the kitchen earnestness is getting jealous of irony He's getting all the laughs But is really quite shallow Worry keeps trying to crack onto happiness Sadness says beware She is the Yoko of emotions Shyness sends me a text She says she really wanted to make it She got the wrong directions From mental illness Vagueness turns up late He thought there was a theme He's dressed as a ninja pirate I'm really never sure What vagueness is thinking There's a party in my head Not everyone's invited I'm so busy being host I'm having a sh** time Despite having every song I've ever heard to choose from They've got Bon Jovi's Bed Of Roses On repeat In the backyard there's a smash Two rival gangs have gatecrashed Memories bad and good Both stake claim to my state of mind But what they don't realise Is that I need them both the same Forgiveness steps in And kicks everybody's arse In the bedroom I can hear laughter and screams Subconscious plays the preview for tomorrow night's dreams Addiction's making punch out of everybody's dregs Hey gimme some of that Says self control Hindsight reckons parties were better back in his day Depression kindly reminds him that he's full of sh** Sensitivity's spewing tears She's had a bit much to think Love holds the hair Out of her eyes There's a party in my head Seems everyone's invited Somehow I gotta fall apart to get myself reunited As I finally drift off to sleep Self-worth makes a speech to me I love you man You're the best Sorry about the mess
