Songs: I Think I Did OK

notes / gigs / releases

Lying here, hungover
Last night to be raked over
A self-assessment of the cruellest kind
Analysis intensive
Examination forensic
But nothing truly awful comes to mind

Oh let my hopes be buoyant
I wasn't too annoying

And I think I did OK
I think I didn't say
Too much that was too rude
Or could be misconstrued
In the cold hard light of day
I think I did OK

Those bon mots what I dropped
Did they go badly wrong?
Were people dead offended
Are there fences
That need mending?
Did I come across as sarcastic?
Were my hugs over-enthusiastic?
Did I swear too much
Or not enough?

No I'm sure I was insightful
I am always delightful

And I think I did OK
I think I didn't say
Too much that was too rude
Or could be misconstrued
In the cold hard light of day
I think I did OK

Were my witticisms
Taken as criticims?
Did my breath stink?
Do I owe someone a drink?
Did that woman think I was staring?
What on earth did I think I was wearing?
Somehow I can't help thinking
I used to be a lot better at drinking

I never was

Sod this for a game of soldiers
I'm not a teenager, I'm very slightly older

And I think I did OK
I think I didn't say
Too much that was too rude
Or could be misconstrued
In the cold hard light of day
I think I did OK

I think I did OK
I think I didn't say
Too much that was too rude
Or could be misconstrued
In the cold hard light of day
I think I did OK

I am always delightful

Basically the contents of my BRANE every morning after I've been in any kind of social situation the night before - this is probably the TRUEST song I have ever written!
