Landlord

(Rupert Webb)

This song is about stress and mental illness, maybe schizophrenia. There is certainly paranoia and fear in the lyrics, but it is mixed with confusion and a list of bizarre happenings. The subject just wants some calm, but they are too busy rationalising their existence to their alter ego. The landlord in question might be another personality in the same mind, but it’s deliberately obscure. The Landlord could easily be changed to a she and refer to the subject as “girl”, not “son” for a female singer. The Queen could be lunching with almost anyone with a three syllable name. I wrote it as Clint Eastwood originally.

I don’t need another weekend funeral 
As time goes forwards it just gets too long 
My body feels all scattered and it’s so unusual 
Everybody’s coming on so strong 
 
I can’t take another psychedelic daydream 
The last couple were a little grim 
I’m running back and forth down the rows of bodies 
But at least the chrysanthemums are settling in 
 
I’m going crazy cos I need you, when I moved in with my landlord 
He said, “son don’t you worry, it’ll all be fine.” 
Well he doesn’t know you and he’ll soon be sorry 
I just hope my psychiatrist can find the time 
 
I’ve been existing on my nervous energy 
The goldfish and the hamster need to make a stand 
The acid in my dinner makes me feel like Walt Disney 
Now Arial’s the singer in my alt rock band 
 
I need a mortgage and a family, XXXXXXX XXXX XX XXXXXXXXXX
