Corrie, Coronation Street, it’s a show I used to watch, Oh that Coronation Street, it’s a show I watched too much of.
It came on on a Sunday they’d played a week of shows at once, the show was unavoidable to all of us living in the land without cable walking through their cautionary fables of a working class Rorschach returning all to the Rovers to the bar. Corrie, Coronation Street returning all the Rovers to the bar. Corrie, Coronation Street, it’s a show I used to watch, Oh that Coronation Street, it’s a show I watched too much of.
A funeral of truth clearing out the old growth, we’d emotional connect at dawn and by lunch I’d mourn their loss. I knew all their names, I’d even picked up the accent but finally I’d had it when I dressed like Steve MacDonald and I went to the laundromat to try to get my clothes washed and I looked into the mirror. Oh. Corrie, Coronation Street, it’s a show I used to watch, Oh that Coronation Street, it’s a show I watched too much of.
For my partner it was almost worse she picked up the Tracey Barlow curse with the fangs and the deep claws shredding lives like they were puppets. I’d rather kick the bucket than go on like Ken did though, my faux pas all seem so irrelevant next to the coronating that I know with all of the foibles that I saw up and down the street where they died left and right if they weren’t contracting a case of teen pregnancy. Corrie, Coronation Street, it’s a show I used to watch, Oh that Coronation Street, it’s a show I watched too much of.
Never get attached to any other street but life on the street you live on now or you’ll never get it right, you’re doomed to repeat in a soul-destroying repeat lies aired six months ago in the united hindsight and the cable though I’d cut it it’s cliché, I’d applied it to my own life though outright but the bit part on the show on a channel to which I never subscribed, that was my life then, it`s not a repeat, it`s the actual street.
