BRAT SEASON

TAXI HOME

Writes about the taxi home, never the club

vex on it

the run

Honest use case: people who perform confidence in social settings but feel alienated

Exhibit:The scary part's not out here, it's the flat, it's half past four / The scary part is I'd be worse if I stopped going out at all

lyrics

Everybody's in the picture and I'm laughing at the front
I'm the best night of your life and I've been that since twenty-two
And the taxi home is quiet and the quiet's what I want
And I don't know how to tell you that the quiet's what I do

Someone's launch, someone's birthday, someone's Thursday, someone's flat
I know everybody's name in here and none of them know that
I've been doing this so long that I could do it in my sleep
And the being good at parties is the only thing I keep

Everybody's in the picture and I'm laughing at the front
I'm the best night of your life and I've been that since twenty-two
And the taxi home is quiet and the quiet's what I want
And I don't know how to tell you that the quiet's what I do

(taxi-taxi-home)

The scary part's not out here, it's the flat, it's half past four
The scary part is I'd be worse if I stopped going out at all

And the taxi home is quiet and the quiet's what I want
And I don't know how to tell you that the quiet's what I do

Everybody's in the picture and I'm laughing at the front
I'm the best night of your life and I've been that since twenty-two
