simon bookish - interview lyrics

Loading...

i find myself
in an imposing boardroom
lined in oak
for a job interview

on the long table in front of me
is a sheaf of papers
i rummage through

(i) come across a brief, a job description
but haven’t time to read further
as the door opens

the interviewer turns out to be
the raincheck
ex-prime minister

she sits down next to me
i forget who she is
immediately

the questions she asks are very vague
i forget them too
i mumble vague responses

question 10 is very clear:

“leo, which british monarch do you most identify with, and why?”

i reply, with conviction

“(qu)ee(n) victoria”

i lied, i am very embarr-ssed. before i can apologise, the raincheck gets up and leaves the room. she is obviously upset by my tactless insult
