It's a curse Well thy forsooth Who is that interesting hack over there? By Gad, verily Cracked curse Disliked Disliked Burdened It's a curse And I'm not unguilty of using it
You, your tone is You tone of everybody
Trying to bolt out of Trying to get over Operation mind fuck
I do not like your tone, it has ephemeral whinging aspects
It's a curse It's a curse I am not unguilty of using it
Waiting for you to fff Trying to get out of Trying to get out of Waiting, they are waiting bitterly, for you to fall over It's a curse
Down their long egg breath Cheap shaving lotion days Their sandwiches stashed under their side seats Their frog-like chins ready to burst I tell you, it's a curse It's a burden It's a curse Trying to get over Bargain vampires in shops I tell you it's a curse
You, your tone is ... You, your tone is ... Trying to get out of Trying to get out of It's a curse Shafted over It's a curse I tell you, it's a curse It's a curse It's a burden That's burden Operation mind fuck
Look-back bores It's a curse Bach and Wagner All you really need is a good Schwartz It's a curse Balti and Vimto and Spangles were always crap, regardless of the look-back bores It's a curse
It's a curse Shafted over Shafted over Shafted over It's a curse Shafted over Trying to bolt out of it Waiting for you It's a curse I tell you, it's a curse
