          Lyrics

          Promo/10″ version

          XXXX

          CD version

          I got a name I got a say
          I got a name I got a say
          I got a name I got a say 

          And it just came and then it stopped
          It just came and then it stopped 

          I got a look translucent
          I got a look translucent face
          My mirror dissolves every day 

          I got a name I got a face
          I got a name I got a say
          I gotta show medical doors
          All wang doctors all trying to ... 

          It came in tricolours when had been
          Its summers were all in a day
          They had a name they had a face
          They had a name they had a say
          They had a say! 

          Said going downtown
          They had a name
          They got a say 

          It came in tricolours each day
          When I’d seen it show today
          When I’d seen those swinging doors
          No rich door ...

          Gimme just don’t
          Come round and lemon freshness
          The lemon freshness
          The lemon freshness 

          I gotta show medical doors
          All right
          Going to kill 

          I got a name I got a say
          I got a name I got a say
          I got a name I got a say
          I got a name I got a say 

          I got a name 

          I got a name I got a say
          I gotta show a barrel of doors
          I gotta walk I got around
          I get a say I got a name 

          It just came and then it stopped
          It just came and then it stopped
          Then it stopped

          It just came and then it stopped
          I got a name I got a say
          I got a name I got a say 
          It’s taking off 

          It said and took off
          I got a name I got a face
