lyrics

What happens when a nobody dies?
Do we cry inside, or by the side of the grave?
Do we pen a bad poem or a Facebook eulogy?
A terse obituary for the Daily Mail?
Does one person say ‘I knew they had it coming’?
Does somebody else throw themselves in the Thames?
Or the Rhein, or the Hudson or the Yarra? Will we
Lose ourselves in their forest of loose ends?

What happens when a nobody dies?
What happens when a nobody dies?
Will it make us other nobodies feel more alive?

How long til we forget someone not so well-liked?
Or if they were a star, for their lustre to fade?
'Cuz you know we can't all be Amy, Prince or Bowie
Most of us can’t even be Jade Goody
Will we become immortal through Bandcamp or Etsy?
Will there be a retrospective in someone's garage?
Will a teenage choir sing our requiem?
Will they overlook our friendship with Nigel Farage?

What happens when a nobody dies?
What happens when a nobody dies?
What will we do with their punk 45s?

And if it has to be morbidly public
Will it render the public too anguished to speak?
Or hold up the journeys of straphanging pundits
Who’ll tartly remark they were selfish and weak?
Will we stand in line to accept their few possessions?
Throw their ashes down the toilet of their favourite bar?
Crying for each tiny life as we all wonder
How we ever managed to get this far

What happens when a nobody dies?
What happens when a nobody dies?
Tell us what happens when a nobody dies
