lyrics

The house is just twelve years old
Soft landscaping in the garden
An electrician stuck his finger in the plug hole and shouted “Yaba!”

Her Hippo
Every day he’s a dick
Strong one
No one
The man above
A name
A word
I get upset in the heat

I’m smiling constantly and people constantly step on me

His shadow looms around
A feeling of bees’ legs on my face
Safe inside a secret love
Let’s run
Anyway
Mystical Shakespeare shoes
A trapped person screaming
The last thing I looked at in this hand mirror was a human arsehole
Well, Helen’s situation has really put all that in the shade now

There he goes he doesn’t care
Mostly angry scrappy songs
And where does that romantic jealousy come from?
Te amo Manuel
Married then

Her Hippo
Every day he’s a dick
Strong one
Great one
The man above
A name
A word
I’m smiling constantly and people constantly step on me

I’d like to run away with you on a plane but don’t bring those loafers

That silly woman’s done a too-straight fringe
A baby’s appearance
More espresso less depresso
Solutions for damp since 1971
But I can rebuild

I’m a devious snake and I keep it in my wig room
Well
Well well well
Well well well

I’m inside the gate, it’s a tiny little area and it’s rammed, everything’s going great so far. Got my shorts on in preparation for the hot, these idiots in trousers, they don’t know what they’re doing. Feel like I wanna send you twenty texts. Let me know when you’re inside the plane.

I’m smiling constantly and people constantly step on me
