more fun upstairs - a friend of a friend lyrics

i’ve never taken kindly to the suburbs
but this, no cul+de+sac, no dead end
this was your fresh start
your way to begin again

locked my bike in the communal hallway
lingered in your doorway
suspended
a ghost of the gig economy
hired help
a friend of a friend
it frightened me to stand on your carpet so pristine
to mark it so soon in your tenancy
so i made my way in socks
and found beside a box
a lamp i presumed to plug in

you were paying me to sit and wait
so sit and wait i did
noticing the fresh bouquet, the cards
the almost еmpty fridge

i read a comic book cover to covеr
(i had not much other to do)
i wrote down some of the skincare products
i found in your bathroom
somewhere in the city you were carolling
keeping one eye on your phone
wishing you weren’t reliant
on a friend of a friend, unknown

i sat in your new place for three hours
i didn’t mind + you seemed so kind
handing me the keys
i didn’t know how much you’d pay me
when you paid, you paid generously

i looked at the sp+ce you’d made for the sofa
imagined it completing the room
i decided i’d buy you an advent calendar
to unpack as you unpacked
your old life into your new

then the men came with the sofa
and refused my offer to help
i watched them heave it past my bike
watched them tread upon your carpet with their boots
one of the guys asked me if he could use the loo
i agreed
and when he left
i wiped his urine off the seat
i hope you put the sofa together easily
with the help of whoever bought that bouquet
and when you open each december day
i hope you linger in the doorway
and remember this friend of a friend
who stayed in your place
for three hours
overpaid
overcome
wishing you on
on your way
