Lyrics
Oh, and come, fellow traveller, bend an ear towards me
Come cease all your rabble and row
All your shrill, empty laughter is slicing right through me
And this knife, it don't never know how
(Can't wait to see this kick off)
Yes, we'll tell the devil his work is complete
We'll sing "share the love", but we can't share the street
It's the kick in the arse, it's the kiss on the cheek
It's the blows and the unkind words
Oh, my conscience rings like a silver bell
And I convulse like the damaged by deer
Two boots full of gravel to your blazing hell
With shit spitting grin from ear to ear
Some hearts are like lightning in a bottle
And others like a moth in a can
Some hearts are like a dead sea apple
A poison to God and man
I'm the sweetest bag of rats that you've ever seen
I look like trouble and I walk like a creak
Oh, this body of mine is singing
About the blows and unkind words
You get around, you're dragging on the ground
Like limestone pissing in your mint
Well, you bullied as a child and ran into the wild
And you've been paying for every fuck ever since
We're all born blind but we're born with a spine
So get up, you stallion of the road
Oh, I can't call my name to me 'cause it's gone
I have to teach you all the blows and unkind words
I see what's going on here
They left me out here in the cold over here for Mr. Adam Kenny
Fuck, there's gonna be some words tonight, pow
Oh, get back to your corners, you filthy wee savages
(Your dinner's in the microwave)
This song's not for the brave
(Alright, concentrate, Frankie)
With your four letter words all at three second intervals
Just two clicks away from a frosty old grave
If you're spoiling the rumble then piss off to war
Where for all of your trouble, get heave and ho
For we've stood spitting brew for ten long fucking years
And we'll suffer no more of your blows and unkind words
It's a pitiless silence while I lay alone at night
Saying I only wonder by light of day
And if the church service, they could find a cure
For all the hate that I have to fight
I need to vote or even pray
Tic, tac, tasty, go ahead and call me crazy
For this shit and let's get on with all the soup
I'm a big fat jelly with a bunch of ugly nerves
Blast things while I'm in a big tube
Get the penny off the pound and let's get drunk and fuck around
We'll barricade the door against the whole world
Just relax before you leave 'cause it's going on too deep
To all the blows and unkind words
Get the penny off the pound and let's get drunk and fuck around
We'll barricade the door against the whole world
I can't take another night of watching grown men fight
To music made for teenage girls
I can't take another night of watching grown men fight
To music made for teenage girls (One more)
Get the penny off the pound and let's get drunk and fuck around
We'll barricade the door against the whole world
I can't take another night of watching grown men fight
To music made for teenage girls
To music made for teenage girls
To music made for teenage girls
