What if Once in a Lifetime Was Actually About Hull? (Patreon)

(Rough as fuck, I could not be arsed to polish it up)

And you may find yourself in Hull, a place full of despair

And you may find yourself wishing you were anywhere

And you may find yourself stuck in traffic, feeling so aware

And you may find yourself in a dingy flat, with a life you can't repair

And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Letting the days go by, let the misery take its toll

Letting the days go by, with nothing but boredom to unfold

Into the bleakness again, after all hope is gone

Once in a lifetime, in Hull where life is just wrong

And you may ask yourself, "How do I survive this?"

And you may ask yourself, "Where is the escape from this abyss?"

And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful life"

And you may tell yourself, "I can't live like this, not with all this strife"

Letting the days go by, let the misery take its toll

Letting the days go by, with nothing but sadness to unfold

Into the bleakness again, after all hope is gone

Once in a lifetime, in Hull where life is just wrong

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, just a place full of flaws 

Dreariness and monotony, there's no joy in Hull

In the greyness of this town, life is just dull

Grey skies and hopelessness, that's all there is to find

Remove the joy from Hull, leave it all behind

Letting the days go by, let the misery take its toll

Letting the days go by, with nothing but frustration to unfold

Into the bleakness again, after all hope is gone

Once in a lifetime, in Hull where life is just wrong

Letting the days go by, let the misery take its toll

Letting the days go by, with nothing but frustration to unfold

Into the bleakness again, after all hope is gone

Once in a lifetime, in Hull where life is just wrong

You may ask yourself, "Is there a way out of this hole?"

You may ask yourself, "Where does the road lead, if it leads at all?"

And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"

And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"

Letting the days go by, let the misery take its toll

Letting the days go by, with nothing but sorrow to unfold

Into the bleakness again, into the silent pain

In this place that drains you, life just won't sustain

Letting the days go by, let the misery take its toll

Letting the days go by, with nothing but emptiness to hold

Into the bleakness again, after all hope is gone

Once in a lifetime, in Hull where life is just wrong

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, look what I've become

Time doesn't heal here, time just drags along

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, just a never-ending wrong (I couldn't find peace)

Same as it ever was, in Hull where nothing goes right

Here comes the darkness

Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)

Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)

Once in a lifetime, let the misery take its toll

Letting the days go by, with nothing but darkness to unfold
