Lyrics:
If I could live across the road from a boot fair
Wouldn’t that be something
If I’m thin as a bean pole I can slip through the fence
I’m not here to provide blank
They can fucking provide blank
Our relationship
Well it’s not what you think it is
Hot penny day
Hooked over man
Woollen woman
I don’t want to empty your bank account
and give you nightmares but
I guess I don’t ever ask for what I want
I see male violence everywhere
Beautiful face, softness
I think ‘big soft bed club’
Hazmat suit yeah
Health first
Are these exposed wires all good?
Near the steam?
Hooked over man
Woollen woman
I don’t want to empty your bank account and give you nightmares
But we’re in the middle of what they call three ‘financial eclipses’
Is it still ok to call you my disco pickle?
To recognise a smile try thinking of a
A chameleon or a Pac Man
What’s her name over there says
“Don’t forget to bring back the blue sheet”
Can’t you see I’m trying?
I was having a good time and I didn’t go to bed
It’s hot penny day
It’s a spook out
I’m not here to provide blank
They can make their own blank
Can’t you see I’m trying?
Can’t you see my bloodshot eyes?
Bad taste bear
Horse head tea
Every day
I’ve been to the top of a mountain
There’s fire there
Every single day
Kick drum
Sometimes I feel like I’m just a loner and that’s that
Stiff undergarment
