| [00:06.53] |
History repeats the old conceits |
| [00:08.66] |
The glib replies the same defeats |
| [00:11.35] |
Keep your finger on important issues |
| [00:14.05] |
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues |
| [00:17.49] |
Im just the oily slick |
| [00:19.38] |
On the windup world of the nervous tick |
| [00:22.14] |
In a very fashionable hovel |
| [00:25.38] |
I hang around dying to be tortured |
| [00:30.07] |
Youll never be alone in the bone orchard |
| [00:32.81] |
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel |
| [00:38.14] |
So in this almost empty gin palace |
| [00:42.97] |
Through a two-way looking glass |
| [00:45.52] |
You see your alice |
| [00:48.96] |
You know she has no sense |
| [00:51.45] |
For all your jealousy |
| [00:54.58] |
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly |
| [00:58.52] |
Charged with insults and flattery |
| [01:01.91] |
Her body moves with malice |
| [01:04.73] |
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous |
| [01:09.88] |
And now you find you fit this identikit completely |
| [01:14.76] |
You say you have no secrets |
| [01:18.39] |
And then leave discreetly |
| [01:20.47] |
I might make it californias fault |
| [01:22.28] |
Be locked in genevas deepest vault |
| [01:24.65] |
Just like the canals of mars and the great barrier reef |
| [01:27.90] |
I come to you beyond belief |
| [01:31.27] |
|
| [01:34.90] |
My hands were clammy and cunning |
| [01:37.35] |
Shes been suitably stunning |
| [01:40.82] |
But I know theres not a hope in hades |
| [01:46.07] |
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle |
| [01:50.52] |
So-called gentlemen and ladies |
| [01:52.96] |
Dog fight like rose and thistle |
| [01:56.04] |
Ive got a feeling |
| [01:58.29] |
Im going to get a lot of grief |
| [02:00.66] |
Once this seemed so appealing |
| [02:03.22] |
Now I am beyond belief |
