lyrics

Well meaning friends might offer advice
With solutions that you’ve heard a thousand times before
Have you tried meditation?
Oh my god, no, you’re the first person to suggest appropriated Eastern philosophy, why didn’t I think of that?!

Well I’m not gonna tell you everthing’s gonna be alright
Cause I don’t know what kindof fucked up things are happening in your life
But what I will do, is share with you
Some phrases I find comforting
Phrase 1:
A light breakfast will be provided
No heavy lifting for the rest of the day
Free postage
But my favourite phrase of all to say is

I have a face
And you have a face
And every part of it is in the right place
Nobody’s face
Could ever replace your face
That would be a disgrace

Looking around, it’s all pretty bleak
Lots of evidence to show the world is ending this week
You try to do the right thing, by recycling your soft plastic
But you can’t find the drop off point at the supermarket so you just put it in the normal bin and feel bad

Well I’m not gonna tell you that we’re all gonna work it out
Cause humans are Earth’s leachy boyfriend and she should totally kick us out
But what I will do, is share with you
Some phrases I find comforting
Arch support will be provided
Plush bathrobes, available in teal
Comments disabled
But the phrase that has the most appeal is

I have a face
And you have a face
And every part of it is in the right place
Nobody’s face
Could ever replace your face
That would be a disgrace

Cause life doesn’t come with any guarantees,
Like having to get an abortion after having sex with a guy who had a vasectomy
Or being disappointed with every star wars film made after 1983
Like writing a song called ‘ironic’ and then everyone makes fun of you cause the lyrics aren’t technically irony.. isn’t THAT ironic? No? I guess I don’t really understand the definition of that word either…

Well you don’t have to tell me everything’s gonna be alright
It’s nice that you care, but you don’t have to lie
I’ll tell you, what you can do
Use these phrases that are comforting
My shoulder, will be provided
I’m sorry, things have been shit
I’m listening
But if you only remember one phrase, make it this

I have a face
And you have a face
Every part of it is in the right place
Nobody’s face
Could ever replace your face
That would be a disgrace
I would really miss your face

I have a heart
And you have a heart
And I know that sometimes that’s the most painful part
But when you’re feelings get scarred
You can cry or make art
That’s a start, you’re alive sweetheart!

I really love your face yeah
Oh I’m sorry if this song is offensive to people who don’t have faces
I try to be inclusive of everyone, but you know sometimes I'm still figuring all that stuff out
So if you don’t have a face
Your lack of face IS ACE
And I wouldn’t ever want your lack of face to be erased no

I really love your lack of face
Your lack of face yeah
It's really really nice
I like the way that it looks
*incomprehensible gibberish*
I really love your face
A LOT
