middle class hero

from Rosemary by BAAN

/

about

Having regained his place on the surface Mr Bumble relaxes into the numbness of existential zeroism. Just as complacency threatens to consume him, Gargantuan finally arrives to devour Rosemary. Looking down into the hole, Mr Bumble fails to realise that Rosemary isn’t down there. Gargantuan has taken her into the sky.

lyrics

Middle class heroes
Aren’t really there
Existential zeroes
Always end up nowhere

He’s so middle class
That’s how much he hates it
Bottom of a whisky glass
Drinks it down and fakes it
They call him Mr Bumble
Every day at his work
Hazy days he stumbles
They all think he’s a jerk

Suddenly there’s a rumble
In the floor under Mr Bumble
Rosemary in the backyard
Falls and hits the ground so hard

He runs to her through the garden gate
Nearly makes it but he’s too late
The yard is gone dear Rosemary
Nowhere in sight, where can she be

Poor Mr Bumble looked down into the hole
Where the garden used to be
He briefly considered leaping in
With some vague notion of saving dearest Rosemary

Plan B was a quick call to 999
Meaning all kinds of hubbub
The whisky glass still in hand was empty
So he got in the car and went to the pub
