Lyrics
A friend of mine... Puffed up She puffed up Almost twice her normal size It was quite funny, really A great, skinny, went all greyer And out puffed little rings of steam Like, right from a chain One day, she swelled up, even bigger And she managed to swell up, even bigger, again And then this big, big, pop, and out jumped a duck! From her tummy! It opened its beak, and it said: "There's a sign outside your house that says everybody's happy! Well I, for one, am most certainly not!" This made my friend itch, and she started to scratch Like when I itch, I scratch Like when you itch, you... Like when you've been Ea-ting-in-bed Firstly there’s a spanner in here Secondly it has the right of way, uh huh And something else is missing Sometimes sorted out and wrapped up straight away Nothing by comparison puts thoughts straight in my mind As I comfort myself with the will to be unkind Goes the way of every day To hell with uncle, I... Mr. Technique’s doing well And he stands around in poses just like this But when I gets to thinking it seems Better to betray me with a kiss We will inform you upon day to day Mr. Technique’s is a much better way Goes the way of every day To hell with uncle I know I'm wrong (Goes the way of every day) It must be all this (To hell with uncle) Eating in bed, tell me when it’s over (I know I'm wrong) A spider is crawling up and (It must be all this) Eating in bed Catch this, in a minute No-one can see or say or do what No-one wants or not to do It’s scary to be that way I'll make use of my body I’ll be round with the tarring can And stand with the standard man Who paints us inseparable But should I break my fall? In every cry of every Man The mind-forg’d manacles I hear Goes the way of every day To hell with uncle I know I'm wrong (Goes the way of every day) It must be all this (To hell with uncle) Eating in bed, tell me when it’s over (I know I'm wrong) A spider is crawling up and (It must be all this) Goes the way of every day (Eating in bed) To hell with uncle I know I'm wrong (Goes the way of every day) It must be all this (To hell with uncle) Eating in bed, tell me when it’s over (I know I'm wrong) A spider is crawling up and (It must be all this) (Eating in bed) No-one can see or say or do What no-one wants or not to do It’s scary to be that way I'll make use of my body The woman with the clap takes me round to the back To the man with the crocodile smile, who Scares Me to my hands and Knees but should I break my Fall?
