  • I was at the Jamie Oliver Petrol Station
    I needed deli but God, I hate him
    That man should not have his face on posters
    I feel so angry and sad at most, huh
    But then I think of the New York skyline
    The west cork of the Yankee eyeline
    Then get to thinking I have it wrong, tho'
    Let me explain 'cause I'm never wrong though
    Things are ugly to me, I get it
    A flip phone with a lack of credit
    And others beautiful, I remember
    Blanch right at the end of December

    So, okay, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    I'm saying, okay, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    Oh

    This is making no sense to the average listener
    Let me try explain myself in a few words

    I make up places like Finglas, Tennessee
    A mish-mash of what should and shouldn't be
    The smoking area, concerned glances
    She's really mental, it's not just acting
    There's always something I'm missing out on
    Overdosing on social calpol
    Overeager to make acquaintance
    With someone normal and nice who'll explain it
    Yet I forget it when they stop breathing
    And you'll have wasted your time on seething
    I said I'm wasting my time on seething
    And hey, you're not so good yourself
    Come learn my mantra, it's like

    Okay, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    So, okay, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    Oh

    I'm still not explaining myself very well at all
    Let me try, let me try again, let me try

    It's the fear of not getting the door of the joy
    Of the chopping it up with the car that you draw it on
    Coming through town and then deeing the type of the people you missed
    Who'd have died back in Dublin
    The jeans that I'm wearing are very expensive
    It's no a reflection, reflection, reflection
    Sinead in ratoath and Sinead in the sky
    And Sinead that I'll meet on the by and by
    And the fear of the freedom of being released again
    Feel seventeen again, washing the sheets with
    The lies that I don't even know that I've told 'cause
    I've mixed them all up, yeah the cactus is cold

    It's like, okay, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    I'm saying okay, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    I'm saying, Ciara, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    I'm saying, Ciara, don't be a bitch
    The man's got kids and they wouldn't like this
    Ohh

    I was at the Jamie Oliver Petrol Station
    I needed deli but God, I hate him
    That man should not have his face on posters
    I feel so angry and sad at most, ugh Writer/s: Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson
