In the geginning there was nothing &,
to be honest, that suited me just fine.
I was three weeks late coming out of the womb
In no great rush to join the rest of mankind

Further complications -

Further complications -
further complications in store.
Your life is just a carrier bag.
Over-fill it and the straps will snap.
Further complications - Further complications
Do you follow me?
