It would be nice to think that after a year of barely leaving the house, I could emerge as a new man and reintroduce myself to the world anew. But instead everything is worse now, so I'm lying about it instead. Pleased to meet you, don't trust a single thing that I say.

lyrics

hello, you may remember
the man I was before
but it’s been twelve long months
since I last stepped out my door
now hibernation’s over
I’m jumping off the shelf
I used the whole damn year
to reinvent myself

so forget all you knew
if you knew anything at all
it’s no longer true
I’ve had a reinstall

I lacked confidence
now I am in your face
I had no ambition
now I’m here to win the race
I used to drag my heels
now I walk through fire
I used to be an honest man
now I am a liar

all your old complaints
I have taken them on board
I took some guitar lessons
even learned a new chord
I hope you can adjust
to what I have become
it’s victory or bust
I’ve only just begun

so forget all you know
if you know anything
let your preconceptions go
and listen to me sing

I lacked confidence
now I am in your face
I had no ambition
now I’m here to win the race
I used to drag my heels
now I walk through fire
I used to be an honest man
now I am a liar

I’m taking your ass to the dancefloor
I’m revitalised, shiny and new
I’m giving you all that you asked for
who really cares if it’s true?

I lacked confidence
now I am in your face
I had no ambition
now I’m here to win the race
I used to drag my heels
now I walk through fire
I used to be an honest man
now I am a liar
I lacked confidence
now I am in your face
I had no ambition
now I’m here to win the race
I used to drag my heels
now I walk through fire
I used to be an honest man
now I am a liar
