Starts so slowly just a place to stay Somewhere warm where they can spend their days Air is stagnant and he feels unclean Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene Somethings happened and its not so good Broken bottles in the face of love Mottled flesh under the harsh strip-light Nylon sheets to keep them warm at night Once its started it can never stop Fills his head with a dark damp fog In the distance is a constant Cry growing louder as the years go by Days get longer and he starts to drink Spews his stomach in the kitchen sink Tells his children they should have respect Tells his wife that shes a nervous wreck He hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all Cant be bothered when its all the same Leave it long enough it goes away In the meantime stomach turns to fat She tries to tell him but he cant have that Shes only jealous and shes telling lies Standing naked in his flesh disguise It took him months to get her into bed Now hes got her he just wants her dead She wants excitement and she needs romance All she gets are dirty underpants Stupid animal that cant know Why somethings wrong so someone has to die The wind is blowing and the rain falls down Sends his family on a trip down town Sees them die in a burning wreck Sees them burn smokes a cigarette He hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all He knows hes finished but he cant stop now And he wants to end it but he cant see how And its all in pieces thrown it all away Oh but hes not ugly he just looks that way And he wants some quiet and he needs it now But the scream hes starteds getting far too loud And he still pretends he does it just for now His day will come hell lose it all somehow Killing time until his ship arrives Been dead ten years but hes still alive And the time is wasted and the ship has sunk But he hasnt noticed and he comes home drunk And hes just dead weight hell never leave the ground He tries to stand but he keeps falling down And its hard to know he doesnt count for Much Hes not a has-been just a never-was Oh he hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all Hates his wife Hates them all
