Lyrics
The Monks
Hey woman, I hate you with a passion baby
(But call me)
Well you know my hate's everlasting, baby
(But call me)
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you [ ] know why I hate you baby, huh, do you now?
(But call me)
Well, it's because you make me, make me, make me hate you baby
(But call me)
Well, all right
Well I hate you baby with a passion, yeah you know I do
(But call me)
Oh, you know my hate's everlasting, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
(But call me)
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know why I hate you baby? Huh, do you?
(But call me)
Oh, it's because you make me hate you baby
(But call me)
Well, all right
The Fall

Too ill, you it's up to you baby

But there no how a power drill
Dog bark renovate stone blast do it up do it
With BTO

Seep to sleep
The drill scaffold starts
Power drill dog bark renovate stone blast
Screw it up to do it
I'm coming
Because you make me make me make me make me make me hate you baby

A reworking of The Monks’ “I Hate You”.
Footnotes
- As Will notes in the comments, the Peel Session version has the line “rhythm guitar”, and that’s clearly what is intended here – except it isn’t enunciated fully. ↩︎

Firm guitar is ‘thm guitar – Peel version has ‘rhythm guitar’ in full
Good to be able to comment on the covers, there’s more MES text here than some originals.
Yep. Well spotted.
