Career Day Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm an astronaut, baby
I work in the night
I'm a certain kind of crazy
I live in my mind
[Verse 2]
I'm a deep sea diver
I find ways to breathe
I'm deep undercover
I don't look like me
[Chorus]
I'm paper thin
I'm paper thin
I'm paper thin
Just break me in
[Verse 3]
I'm a part-time mortician
I cannot shake death
And I'm an ageing physician
Ain't got much healing left
[Verse 4]
I'm a character actor
I feed myself a line
But it leaves me pretty good at
Pretending I'm fine
[Chorus]
I'm paper thin
I'm paper thin
I'm paper thin
Just break me in
[Verse 5]
I'm a struggling comedian
I can't find the laughs
I'm a poor mathematician
I do things by halves
[Verse 6]
I'm a weak day dancer
Can't kick the movement from my shoes
I'm a heartless casino
I win when you lose
[Chorus]
I'm paper thin
I'm paper thin
I'm paper thin
Just break me in

What did Keaton Henson say about "Career Day"?
“The video is a collection of often abstracted shots from deeply personal home videos. I just liked the idea of hearing an ageing weary man, singing about his failings over distorted shots of his childhood, and how it colours those captured gleeful moments with the sadness of the passage of time.”
