Poor Ian

from Lonea EP by Basic Printer

/

about

The flute part of this song was written during a conversation I was having with someone else in the studio, half paying attention to what I was doing.

lyrics

Ian was a boy who didn't know left from right
Ian was a boy who never had a girl in his sights
Ian walks home from school all alone
To go home and sit on his football throne

Ian said "enough," and moved on with his no-moving life
Ian grabbed a hammer and built himself a house and a wife
Ian doesn't get it and I get that
Ian wants to find a meaning for his welcoming mat

Ian decided that he had figured it all out
Love is the resource that could end his compassionless drought
Ian had it all, but a bit too late
He realized it all on his dying date
