Careful to all animals, never washing spiders down the plughole
No more microwave dinners and saturated fats
Sleeping well, no bad dreams, no paranoia
Still kisses with saliva
Will not cry in public
Car wash also on Sundays
That's driven into frozen winter shit
Pragmatism, not idealism
Will frequently check credit at Moral Bank hole in wall
No longer empty and frantic
A good memory
No chance of escape, now self-employed
Calm, fitter, healthier and more productive
Keep in contact with old friends, enjoy a drink now and then
Like a cat tied to a stick
Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants
Less chance of illness
An empowered and informed member of society
Concerned but powerless
Nothing so childish
Shot of baby strapped in back seat
Charity, standing orders, on Sundays ring road supermarket
At ease, eating well
The ability to laugh at weakness
No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
A patient better driver, a safer car, baby smiling in back seat
Tires that grip in the wet
Regular exercise at the gym 3 days a week
Still cries at a good film
Favors for favors, fond but not in love
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At a better pace, slower and more calculated
