lyrics
Amongst all of the scrawl
On the toilet wall
The words are written;
"I've tried saying no to the drugs
But they just won't listen"
Also Kaz is a slag
And apparently shags
For Bacardi Breezers
So we're sharing our feelings
With underhand dealings
And sleaze - oh jesus
I've got a heart full of love
But what does it matter?
'Cos when it touches yours
They both just shatter
Got a pen in my hand
And there's ink pouring over my fingers
And I seem to mess up
Every person I touch
And do 'things' with, as do you
So I'm leaving the loos
And I'm trying to move
To a song I'm loathing
She says "You don't dance
Badly for a straight man" so I
Make a mental note
To change my clothing
Fay thinks it's funny
To superglue money
To floors and ceilings
And watch the idiot's prayers
As they try to get what isn't theirs
And she laughs and I don't
'Cos I know the feeling
I've got a heart full of love
It's frequently broken
'Cos when it touches yours
They both burst open
And I'm trying to look cool
But the snot bubbles don't really do it
But at least I'm not Clare she's got
Legoman hair, she's a....
I've got a heart full of love
And you've got some peanuts
A high risk of torture
And anaphylaxis between us
And you're making me swoon
But it might be the fumes from your marker
Our eyes meet and bam,
Self restraint we have lost it
A spell binding kiss mildly spoiled
When I was sick
Great deflate
The hedonism's starting
To stagnate
And while I'm sitting here
I contemplate
If I have got time to manicure?
I read all the walls
They are poignant with poetic merit
But if Rachel's so cool
Then in Heaven's name
Why can't she spell it?
On the toilet wall
The words are written;
"I've tried saying no to the drugs
But they just won't listen"
Also Kaz is a slag
And apparently shags
For Bacardi Breezers
So we're sharing our feelings
With underhand dealings
And sleaze - oh jesus
I've got a heart full of love
But what does it matter?
'Cos when it touches yours
They both just shatter
Got a pen in my hand
And there's ink pouring over my fingers
And I seem to mess up
Every person I touch
And do 'things' with, as do you
So I'm leaving the loos
And I'm trying to move
To a song I'm loathing
She says "You don't dance
Badly for a straight man" so I
