Lyrics
Me? To be the one with the wind-up legs They look just the ch- truth he begs Upon the shelf with the cups for the eggs Running for his life he begs Please mummy PLEASE MUMMY Oh what a plain necessity to be alive Always too soon to criticise I have had under my eyes and nose My mouth singing me lullaby I have no right to complain that I am alone And have no-one permanently But if one "takes it by the hand" the "funny man" laughs Forever landing them on me Oh what a plain necessity to be alive Always too soon to criticise I have had under my eyes and nose My mouth singing me lullaby I have no right to complain that I am alone And have no-one permanently But if one "takes it by the hand" the "funny man" laughs Forever landing them on me Biting while cutting deep Makes me end up with a clean sweep, making all the fears Completely dissolve away The saving up for the hope day disappears It's funny how when you breathe in Your mouth opens, air goes in Don't boil using Teflon on her Should I go and put the kettle on her? Michael's got himself a girlfriend, he's a lucky fellow Katy's toss- as white as ever, but now it's gone all yellow Malcolm's a b*st*rd and keeps acting like Emperor Nero Peter is constantly pretending to be a superhero What's in a name, la la la la, what's in a name, la la la la What's in a name, la la la la, what's in a name, la la la la Biting while cutting deep Makes me end up with a clean sweep, making all my fears (La la la) Completely dissolve away The saving up for the hope day disappears The funny man meaning one thing Trying one thing, trying not to laugh Then he gives the news of an epitaph For the creatures dying in my bath Tracy is turning and revolving in a city lining Martin keeps his new Lambretta gleaming and shining All news has its way and leaves me staring at my pillow All clouds have a silver lining gleaming and shining All of the time On the Siegfried Line All news has its way and leaves me staring at my pillow All clouds have a silver lining gleaming and shining {indiscernible} SHUT UP Enough of these big bangs and chords on the guitar and on the organ
