        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?
