[Example, Francesca Belmonte, Teddy Mitchell - Today I Met Myself lyrics]
I get the petrol don't forget to
Buy a couple of sweets
Sometimes I like to treat myself
If only once a week
Open the door, get in the car
Sit in the driverís seat
Peer into the rearview mirror and
Im staring back at me
When I say me I don't mean
Me as in my own reflection
Hardly slept so I suspect im
Staring at some weird projection
My brain has made to tell
Me alcohol abuse is wrong
Whereupon, I turn around and
Realise somethings going on:
Trust me son, this ain't a con
You have to trust your eyeballs
Know those eyes are fine because they're
Mine so don't be stifled
You're slightly balder now and yes
Your pubes are turnin grey
But, you've travelled back in time cos
There's important shit to say
Don't do that (nope) they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (nah) they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do her (grim) she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I
Told me bout my future
So im sat in the front and sat in the back
As you do havin a chat
Asking bout the change in rap
And where the musics at
I'm careful not to tell
Myself entirely everything
I've come here just to warn me
As to what the future brings:
Oi, Listen, El
Surely you can see that you're me
I'm you, look at the lips
You really can't ignore me
I know that in that bag
There's ginger beer and curly-wurlys
It's kinda hurly burly but you
Must believe my story
I know you tasted glory, was all hunky dory
Now you're standing on the borderline
Today's the day your sure to find
You don't know where to draw the line
This is the start of your decline
That's why I came back exactly 15
Years before your sordid crime
Don't do that (nope) they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (nah) they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do her (grim) she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I
Told me bout my future
Freakin out, I been sneakin bout
Feelin edgy bout the fact that
I've seeked me out
Im freakin out, I been sneakin bout
And I've sat inside my car
And started speakin bout
What's yet to come
It seems most of what the future has
To hold for me is decent
But recently my future self was
Caught having a threesome
One of the girls was
Underage with fake identification
The other one was legal
But her father's occupation
Was head of a group of hoodlums
From just south of the Thames
The entire episode was captured
From a hidden lens
They found some substances inside the
Glove box of my car
So I'm front page of the sun
The mirror and the daily star
I'm either goin down for twenty or
Thugs are out to get me
My walls are bout to crumble which is
Why I went and sent me
Back in time, prevent the crime
Avoid Jane and Amy
It seems my future selfís a prick
But really who can blame me
Don't do that (nope) they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (nah) they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do her (grim) she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I
Told me bout my future
Buy a couple of sweets
Sometimes I like to treat myself
If only once a week
Open the door, get in the car
Sit in the driverís seat
