Forget Me Genero

Forget Me Genero

The prints in my flat are appalling
My landlord surely has no taste
A sailboat floats by under sunset somewhere
And men nap while they're building the empire state

Genero, Genero
Forget me Genero
'Cus I'll forget you
Once I've packed up my case
I'm going where life is not mediocre
Where I'm struck with meaning
Like lightning from grace
Forget me Genero,
Forget me Genero,
Forget

My songwriting style is banal
I'm a teenager wearing a dress
All I do is moan about the same things
And I'm not even bothered to try to impress

Genero, Genero
Forget me Genero
'Cus I'll forget you
Once I've packed up my case
I'm going where life is not mediocre
Where I'm struck with meaning
Like lightning from grace
Forget me Genero,
Forget me Genero,
Forget

We used to drink so much together

We'd fight all the night until dawn
Now we've been partitioned according to schemes
That the dullest line manager would greet with yawns

Genero, Genero
Forget me Genero
'Cus I'll forget you
Once I've packed up my case
I'm going where life is not mediocre
Where I'm struck with meaning
Like lightning from grace
Forget me Genero,
Forget me Genero,
Forget
