Well I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
It's getting hard to tell between wrong and right
I feel just like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
Feel just like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
They said that they would help me
but that was just a lie, lie, lie, lie
Throw me a line, throw me a line
I can't pay the fine, so throw me a line
While you're drinking my wine and while you're sparing my time
Throw me a line
I quit my job at the funeral home, just reminded me of you
Quit my job at the funeral home, it just reminded me of you
Now I don't know what to do
Won't you throw me a bone?
Throw me a bone, throw me a bone
I can't pay the loan so throw me a bone
Answer the phone, or when I get you alone
Throw me a bone
I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
Stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
Been in the red so long that it just looks black & white
I feel just Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
Feel just like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
She said that she would help me
but that was just a lie

I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
I've been in the red so long that it just looks black and white
I quit my job at the funeral home, just reminded me of you
Quit my job at the funeral home, before my fingers turned blue
Now I don't know what to do
Feel like a dog without a bone
Well my money is gone and my friends have all moved on
well, my money is gone and me friends have all moved on
my problems are meaningless and the days are all too long
Well I feel like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
I feel just like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
She said that she would help me, but that was just a lie
Well, I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
Well, I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
Well, it's getting hard to tell the difference between wrong and right

Tom Emlyn Swansea, UK
"peripatetic musical genius" - Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales
Tom Emlyn recommends:
An EP I collaborated on with Kieran Doe. Experimental DIY ambient bedroom indie pop. Recorded and mixed at home. Just a bit of fun!

Days Of Wild Abandon
by Wild Abandon
A melodic indie pop album I made with a band when I was in uni. Sounds a bit like the smiths, joy division, LCD soundsystem

Five Fathom Round
by News From Nowhere
A prog rock concept epic I made years ago with my old band. Never quite found it's audience but still holds up.
