Ten silver spoons coming after me
One life with one dream on repeat
I'll escape if I try hard enough
Til King of the Jungle calls my bluff
Oh Lord, I have been sold
That I must take the unforsaken road
There's a fork in the road, I'll do as I am told
And I don't know… who I want to be
You say Y-E-S to everything
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough
To love others and to be loved?
Oh Lord, now I can see
The cutlery will keep on chasing me (forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road, I'll do as I am told
And I don't know… who I want to be
(We are the spoons metally mean
We scooped our way into your dreams
To knock the knives out bloody cold
And lead you down the unforsaken road)
Cuckoo
This vid was on my to-do list as a treat, although it didn’t look like I was going to get to it. And then it came up as a pinch-hit, so it all seemed a bit serendipitous. The song choice is a bit incongruous, but for some reason I keep getting this movie stuck in my head whenever I heard it, so I finally decided to just give in and let the insane subconscious do its thing. Mostly I just can’t resist vidding a Matthew Goode and Ben Whishaw vehicle.
