          Lyrics


          Testa Rossa Monitor Mixes

          May attempt Monday
          Far up
          Tale of the speccy M
          Metamorphosis, barge, Euro chant, devo lad, metro chaff
          Like indigenous charlatonites
          In fear of film
          Three mile Quaker pub radius
          Became different person
          The reality avoided the parson of forthcoming
          Was possessed by indigenous Chorltonite's charlatonite's natural amazons
          Who's paying for the grub here?
          Faced murder
          You wanted to know that, didn't yer?
          English glasnost
          Why are the truly skint never Scotch ridden?
          How does man prize the political from anything from [ ] ?
          The jet plane of [ ]
          English glasnost
          To reiterate - dangeralist
          The steed
          Cash ( [ ] )
          'Tricity of the faith
          Previous folly or evasion
          Or is ( [ ] ) matter of shouting something loud while working?
          Like what you did at Sheffield
          Get lost
          Yours sincerely
          Famous face
          Pop star
          Also, when are you can afford a stamp
          And get with food
          Fat arse
          Which is what my ( [ ] ) six second ( [ ] )
          Temp
          You buy (cabin)
          Sincere
          God
          Smith
          Geriatric
          By indigenous charlatonites
          What would life be without comedy?
          Comedy and music
          Music and comedy
          Devolute
          What would it be like?
          Now
          I laughed at the government
          The old jokes we laughed at
          Admittedly
          Or do you want to go back to the jokes?
          What would it be like?
          Alternative comedy music
          Music and comedy
          What would we [ ] life be like?
          What would life would be like?
          Chip pan ( [ ] )
          Alan Brazil on ( [ ] ) miserable and ( [ ] ) for talk about all those cities
          Are hyperbole
          Touch ( [ ] ) city
          Long romance of those who use air-rifles
          And their friendly (flask)
          Embraced
          The gates
          Devolute
          Metamorphosis, barge, Euro chant, devo lad, metro chaff, indigenous
          Devolute Semite
          In fear of mill
          Three mile Quaker pub radius
          Became different person
          The reality avoided person of forthcoming
          Was possessed by indigenous Chorltonite's natural aversion
          It's the gas
          Electric workers and the carpenters
          And the accession of the letters to press battery
          Better
          Make it better
          Ssssshhhhhh [ ]
          Faced murderer
          You wanted to know that, didn't yer?
          English glasnost
          Why are the truly skint never devoluted?
          How does the political man prize anyth- [ ]
          From the gardens
          Eject
          Lane or aloof
          What life be like without devolute?

          The Unutterable

          English glasnost 
          From the mouths of those who use air-rifles on their friendly class
          Why is the truly skint never Scotch ridden
          Embrace, against, devolute
          How does man prise the political from anything from a garden, a jet plane or a loaf?
          Metamorphosis, barge, Euro chav, devo lad, metro chav, indigenous
          English glasnost
          To reiterate, injury list, the stinking cast and the stinking east
          In fear of Bill
          Three mile Quaker pub radius
          Became different person
          'tricity and faith, three years solid for evasion
          There is also a little matter of shafting somebody while they were working
          Like what you did at Sheffield
          Get lost, yours sincerely, famous face, pop star
          Also when are you can't afford a stamp
          And get with food, fat-arse, which is more than I have since end of May tenth
          It's the gas, electric

          Goodbye cackhead, sincere yours, Smith
          Geriatric like indigenous charlatonite
          What would life be without comedy
          Comedy of music, music and comedy
          Devolute!
          What would it be like?
