THEN I PRESCRIBE YOU TAKE A KNIFE AND STAB THAT FAT BABY

SHUT THAT mouth now, not done with you

SHUT THAT mouth NOW, YOU SON OF FOOLS

I’M SO REPULSIVE? I DON’t like it

i’m so repulsive? why can’t i have it?

but i’m significant

‘‘oh that’s nothing new’’

but i’m legitimate?

‘‘your’e a son of fools’’

i’m so impulsive

now humour me and let em squeal or see what they invent

you cannot adjust enough to make the man repent

shut that door now, your time is up

I’M SO REPULSIVE? I DON’t like it

cause i’m magnificent

‘‘oh, that’s nothing new!’’

and i’m indiscriminate

‘‘well that’s good for you’’

CAUSE YOU’RE AFRAID OF WHAT I’LL SAY

AND NO ONE DARES TO CHALLENGE ME

I WON THE CENTURY, I’M CHAMPION

YOU’RE GONNA MAKE A FILM ABOUT ME

AND CUT ALL THE MEDIOCRITIES

YOU KNOW IT’S ONLY RIGHT

I DON’T HOLD MY TONGUE FOR NO ONE

THE FIGHTS SPILLS OUT BEFORE TOO LONG

GOT MY HANDS AROUND YOUR NECK AND NATION

YOU EVICTORS MAKE ME MORE VIOLENT

A KNIGHT ON THE SIDE WILL NEVER ABIDE

SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR MOTHER COUNTRY

CAUSE I DON’T WANT NO FAMILY

FIFTY-MOVE FOOLS, I MAKE THE RULES

I PUSH UNTIL I’M PULLED, THEIR EGO FALLS

I WON THE CENTURY, I’M CHAMPION

I MAKE THE RULES

IT’S SOLELY ME AND THE WEAK AGAINST HUMANITY

UNDER THE LIGHTS WHRE YOU TRY TO DISCOLOUR ME

THROWING THE SHADE IN MY FACE SO I CAN’T BREATHE

Never to heaven

and let me back onto the curb

you won’t thank me when you learn

the fall is fair when you go first

it’s a pit or a pact, a pillow attack, a shitty fight

it’s a militant kiss, a hit or a miss, i’m so fucking fried

my little rub-down lover, there will always be another

you’re the cormorant scum

well i can tell you i procession, and you know i never lie

well now that you can live without me

you’re gonna bury me tonight

now take that number off your shirt

and let me back onto the curb

you won’t thank me when you learn

the fall is fair when you go first

Priest to pardon

we’re gonna let that bird sing

but you know that not be the game i’m in

Insects

Insects, insects

see them crawling

insects, in their thouands, insects

scheming, looking, for you

insects, insects

now you’re involved, watch the insects

cause they are there, everywhere, they’re insects

scheming, looking, for you

but when you’re down, they’re not around

sunspots

(copyright julian cope)

sunspots changing glare

walking around with my very best friend

i’ve got a long song in my head

strolling around with my very best friend

i look back but i don’t see

walking around with my very best friend

she looks good, fine to me

i’m in love with my very best freind

eeeeeoooo it goes away

sunspots changing gear

driving around with my very best friend

i’ve got a long song in my head

holding on to my very best friend

we look back but i can’t see

moving on to my very best friend

she looks good, fine to me

i’m in love with my very best freind

eeeeeoooo it goes away

white piano in san diego

And there we have it my little babies.
Maybe you’ll ask if it’s all been worth it
Or maybe you’ll ask the desk clerk if there’s a better room available
File your thoughts away and hope no one ever discovers what you’re really thinking

Or there’s always that door that needs fixing
Scream until your vision turns purple
Or catch your breath and say something next time because this is your stop
Stand there and listen as the words wash through you
Or smile politely and whisper “You bore me”
Hell! Maybe the bell doesn’t apply to you!
Or does the sight of filing people wrap you like a warm blanket?
Or maybe, just maybe there’s the love of your life exiting from the church

Oh look! Here’s mom and dad arriving in that brand new car they’ve been looking forward to getting and it’s practically theirs in a few years time anyway and it’s not the right colour no, you’re right, but they got a deal on it and it’s perfect. For the time being anyway.

And it’s the right area for sure! Just the right area for the kids, but yes, it is out the way but we have each other. And that’s enough

Were you really studying your reflection in the window?

Or were you watching the fence dry with your hand on your hip and a cup of coffee to your lips that you’re not really drinking as you mouth the words to the theme tune of that show that makes you wish you still shared a room?

The smell of that grass is never the same in the real world, is it? But as you turn away, remember three things;
One. There is only you
Two. There is only you

Three. There is only you

As you turn away

And failing that.
Maybe you’ll buy that white piano in San Diego after all
