Lyrics
Peel Session version
Ouch!
Hate the countryside so much
I hate the countryside so much
Hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
Hate the countryside so much
Walked up milky hillocks
Down to Buxton
Got lost
Lost key in lock
Lost key in lot
Had to meet Jim
With the Roll -
I was in Buxton
I hate the countryside so much
Hate the countryside so much
Hate the countryside so much
Walked town-side
Walked up Pennine
Go out little tyke
Meet you at crossroads
Early morning, sick hills near Buxton
Over Buxton
Softly roll
Iโve got to do it
Prefixed about it
Got to meet Jim with the Roll -
Hereโs only deviants
Had to wait on a Snake Pass
Heโs a lazy hill person
Late and slow as usual
Ted Hughes human (9)
Semi Mole
As a retard I have to do it
Lost key in lock
I hate the dole
Up Snake Pass
The keys wonโt fit in the socket
Past Buxton
Of the control
I hate the countryside so much
Stuck like buds
I hate the countryside so much
On Pennine mud
Read the contraflow so much
Walk straight back past back
Read the contraflow so much
Read the contraflow so much
Go out little tyke
Meet you at crossroads
Early morning, the sick hills near Buxton
Softly roll
Had to walk back home
Through the mud and sludge
Walk Snake Pass
Heโs a lazy hill person
Slow as usual
Ted Hughes human
Semi Mole
Over hills and dales
I had to do it
And milky hillsides
I hate the dole
The keys wonโt fit in the socket
The keys wonโt fit in the socket
I hate the countryside so much
The keys wonโt fit in the socket
I hate the countryside so much
Of the control
I hate the countryside so much
Of the control
I hate the contraflow so much
Stuck like buds on Pennine mud
Stuck like buds on Pennine mud
Walk straight back past
I hate the countryside so much
Walk straight back past
I hate the countryside so much
Again, red lights on, do it again, start again, 1,2,3,4
Extended version, 1,2,3,4
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the countryflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the countryside so much
The Real New Fall LP
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
Go out little tyke and meet at crossroads
Early morning, the sick hill near Buxton
Stock reload, I gotta do it
Prefixed about it
Goin' to meet Jim with a roll
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
As a retard I had to do it
I hate the dole
Them keys won't fit
Keys won't fit (the keys won't fit) in the socket
(The keys won't fit)
Or the controls
(The keys won't fit)
Stuck like grids on Pennine mud
(The keys won't fit)
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
(Walk snake back pass)
Walk snake back
Walk snake back
Walk Snake Pass
Walk snake bank
Go out little tyke, early morning
Sick hills near Buxton
Suffering
I gotta do it
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the contraflow so much
