Name: Empty Fridge
Duration: P00H02M58S
Description: The title is a kind of reference to "Java" and being in a financial situation where literally there's nothing to eat. It is only however briefly mentioned in the lyrics "staring at an empty fridge" and the song is not really about anything particular, it's a continuation of the character from the first song "out again" and it's just a series of things that go through my mind

The title is a kind of reference to "Java" and being in a financial situation where literally there's nothing to eat.

lyrics

I know why the chicken crossed the road

I don’t know but I guess it’s so
I feel better when I’ve less info
Feel the wind like a blessing blow
Getting closer, not pressing though
I’d get up, but I just feel silly
Not a Puff Daddy, just feel a Big Willy
Said I’d drive home, they were like “will you really?”
I guess a cone on it’s own won’t kill me
I’d given up but lo and behold
I’m pushing up now I’m counting the gold
Now listen up, don’t be doubting the bold
The evidence I keep out and withhold

Get rid of that hat, look really wack
Don’t pity that cat, he’s a city rat
He’s they type no crack, no piggy back
Don’t fight back, lack that sissy slap
A bleak day staring at an empty fridge
You said you gonna get some, but you never did
The door keeps knocking non stop so I hid
The bass keeps dropping and I’m rocking ad lib

Sending signals is anybody there?
I see UFO’s often in the air
I got lost and forgot God’s prayer
We all thought but nobody dared
I stopped watching, now where did he go?
Upped my step with a rare bit of blow
Have to admit that a fair bit he knows
Where he came from well nobody knows
You can’t work out really how I figure
Times running out the doubts getting bigger
Need a catalyst and you need a trigger
Getting late best be heading up river

You got some doubt son well what you on about
What you wanna do is get out get all about
Stop stressing and your hair stop falling out
This is the deal, stick to it, no bailing out
Still hungry staring at an empty cupboard
Looks like they came, they conquered, they plundered
I know you don’t, but have you ever wondered
What would you do if you had enough hunger?

Hear the radio, it all sounds the same
Not playing no Gordo what a shame
That’s how it is so I had to up my game
Had to focus, had to get in frame
Feeling old but it’s all in your mind
Who knows when they’re gonna call your time
I saw the past fast forward in rewind
I just stare from my chair and recline
