lyrics

I make moves like Donatello Versace
Joie de vivre
Empire of Armani
Fleur de lis
Army of Karl Kani
Tony Heart on the sleeve
We’ll all be gone in a heartbeat
All these parties turning me into an idiot
All these festivals giving me glitter dick
Blithering idiot, pissing off a wind bitten
Cliff Richard, sinister grin in a picture with a little kid
Riddled with Ritalin, superficial and frivolous
Flippant, fit as a fiddlestick in the mud
Pig in the middle shit
Find me online where the kittens is
Residual images of boxes he didn’t tick
Then in the middle of visiting Lidl
Little did we know we’d be riddle to middle -
Nah that’s some sillyness

I swear I’m turning Super Saiyan
My spirit animal is the singer from Future Islands
Mutant hybrid, human computer virus -
Nah nah
White jeans might’ve been a mistake
Pissed
Shaking a fist
Wrists thin as a rake
In a daze gone missing like Rae’s killer tape
Finn and Jake on a mission
Intuition
Give and take
Like
Heart on a dinner plate
Reciprocate or nah?
Silk scarf swimming in a river made of glass
Tony Jaa’s kicking braes
Ziggy played guitar
When it’s art imitating life imitating art
Art imitating life imitating art
Skibba spitting in a rave
Ziggy played guitar
When it’s art imitating life imitating art

Stone Cold Jane Austin
Vorsprung durch Techno
A flock of privileged kids shed tears of pure pesto
Several sets of eyes stare back from the hedgerow
Looking for that satisfaction
But can’t get no
From the get go
She got the al fresco
Top notch on the bedpost
But flopped on the dress code
Be cool - Seth Gekko
Play the wall like a cello
Or a Harp
Lisa you’re tearing me apart
[Oh hi Mark]
It make sense if I said so
I’m still Lefto
Still looking for an echo
Bodacious
Cowabunga and some other such
I puckered up but buttercup was stuck getting her stomach pumped
Fuck a duck I sup another tall cup of nothing much
I’d rather fill it with the type of change we can’t splutter up
Like
Heart on a dinner plate
Reciprocate or nah?
Big city living got me wishing on a star
50 Had a beef with Ja
Ziggy played guitar
When it’s art imitating life imitating art
Art imitating life imitating art
Beth Gibbons hid her face
Ziggy played guitar
When it’s art imitating life imitating art
