lyrics

We were watching street performers in the sun
And I cowered as you proclaimed
"Oh the things you see when you've not got a gun"
And wondered why I walked away

You see, you're not comedic
You're a let down
You're a plagiarist at best and
Either you learn now
Or some juggler's gonna get you good
The girl that works at alldays
Will smash in your face
And the man from Marks'll finish you - leave you with tinnitus and
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You were born of those almost reptilian
And with climate you can change
I am colder now then you have ever been
And you're conveniently deranged

It seems that as an actor
And a musician
Your plans don't come to fruition
But as an addict
You're surprisingly pro-active
You steal - you're not bohemian
'cos you've no freedom
You can't leave the sleaze you're buried in
You may well be running - you can't stop the ringing …

(eeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeee )

"ooooh lets just get wasted, baby
ooooooh you look like you need it, darling
oooooh lets just erase this, baby
ohhhh and go somewhere seedy… darling"

(spoken)
Well now I have a headache
And I didn't want this anyway
The squalor in the attic
And the death in the living room
I didn't want the sound of a key in a door to cause a rush of despair
And a bolt for the first floor
The man who we owe money to's
Not even in the country
And the bitch who shares our
House won't stop complaining 'bout the humming
And I dunno how you're doing this,
But she can hear your tinnitus
And I can just hear promises that bond us then evaporate
You've really done it now you know,
You've gone and got it wrong again
The sea's full of disease and all the streets are full of people
Who would kill you soon as see you
And they'll hurt me if they hear you so just
Keep the ruddy noise down and just drop it and Christ, let's just GO
