Lyrics
Stands up on its own when you're not around
Smells like a dog, smells like it drowned
And the arm that plucked the buttercup
Still throws a decent uppercut
What have you got in your pockets there?
A fingernail and a hank of hair
Twenty quid and a rolled up dollar
A soft toy choked in a pitbull's collar
It's a great coat, fella
Climbing the stairs from the locked-up cellar
It's a great coat, alright, now that you're gone
Just never ask me to put it on
Lined with satin hem to cuff
The iron fist and the velvet glove
Turning your shadow into a coat
Was darkness embodied, a master stroke
Here's the avenue, here's the address
Windows bordered, garden's a mess
Here's the gibbet, the peg on the door
With the great coat hanging right down to the floor
Under its weight you're buried alive
Under its wing the raven flies
But I'm ditching you, brother
Dropping you off on the piss-stained steps of the charity shop
It's a great coat, fella
Climbing the stairs from the locked-up cellar
It's a great coat, your worship
Looms like a zeppelin, glides like a warship
It's a great coat, alright, now that you're gone
Just never ask me to put it on
It's a great coat, fella
Climbing the stairs from the locked-up cellar
It's a great coat, alright, now that you're gone
It's a great coat, your worship
Looms like a zeppelin, glides like a warship
It's a great coat, alright, now that you're gone
Just never ask me to put it on
