lyrics

you're performing to an audience made up entirely
of myspace friend requests you denied and the
baying bloodhound crowd begin to lob warm bottles of urine
at your hand covered and eyebrow clenched face.
it's all volcanic erosion for the impediment induction speech
a chloroform and clingfilm compound..... of?
half moored cuticles and social degradation
so you return home milk moustached
to spill black coffee into your TV's all important innards
still wearing the childsized sunglasses indoors
like an unlucky umbrella
you found on top of a mouldering unit
in your unlamented ex-kitchen...
or two catherine wheels on a tit job...
stop trying to be so symmetrical -
it'll never happen so just get over it.
if you're proud of your town you should litter more
thereby decreasing the unemployment figure.
i'm laughing at people laughing at jokes i don't get
which sums up the average reaction to my music.
it's like trying to guess the words with missing letters on teletext
- whatever next?
wave the aerial round your head and pray for a better reception?
whilst the seagulls bob round the seafront
like they're dangling from strings?

hairline fractures on your teacup kind of reminds me of my skull.
i was dropped on my head as a child, does it notice?

i've stopped trying to be somebody i'm clearly not
"we spit on three drains so you don't have to"

the last few months have overstepped my budget somewhat
"supply and demand is actually a ball and chain'

raise the price i have no choice to pay
raise the price the price again
"we are all failed scientists
too lazy to prove our own arguements"

we all like to act like we're all conissours of everything
and i for one really don't have an opinion.
we all like to act like we're all conissours of everything
"we are all failed scientists
too lazy to test our own theorums"
