James Jefferys - Miserable Somewhere Else

Sunny contradiction, send your rays
The leaves have said what they've had to say
And all above our heads is grey

And over that, a piercing blue
That lets the cold air drift straight through

How can this petty reprise
Never bring someone new to tell?
And always come as a surprise
I'm not miserable somewhere else


Here it is – a new beginning
A not being given the chance to win in
The creaky season where everyone's grinning

And over that, they're positive
And worse than that, they've closeted

All the things that I've laid out
Until my mind is just a shell
September's time to look about
To be miserable somewhere else


Comparing things is quite a game
When you know not of other's shame
Or through which door their problems came

And over that, the door's still open
Which could be why they're always joking

They've just found the time to chime
Their beautiful new bell
But scratching round all the while
To be miserable somewhere else
