So... ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me

Call me morbid, call me pale I've spent too long on your trail Far too long Chasing your tail Oh...

If you're wondering why When all i wanted from life was to be famous I have tried for so long, it's all gone wrong I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why But you wouldn't believe me

As antony said to cleopatra As he opened a crate of ale Oh i say

Sing to me Sing to me I don't want to wake up On my own anymore

I've seen this happen in other people's Lives And now it's happening in mine I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular

You kicked and cried like a bullied child A grown man of twenty-five He said he'd cure your ills But he didn't and he never will So, save your life Because you've only got one

Bigmouth, bigmouth Bigmouth strikes again And i've got no right to take my place With the human race

Take me out tonight Oh take me anywhere, i don't care I don't care, i don't care Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because i haven't got one No, i haven't got one

But take me to the haven of your bed Was something that you never said Two lumps, please You're the bee's knees But so am i

And there's no one but yourself to blame Anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes Anything is hard to find For heaven's sake Anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes When will you accept yourself? When? Girl afraid Where do his intentions lay?

Fifteen minutes with you I wouldn't say no Oh people see no worth in you Oh but i do

Bigmouth, bigmouth Bigmouth strikes again And i've got no right to take my place With the human race

I know i need hardly say How much i love your casual way Oh, but please put your tongue away A little higher and we're well away The dark nights are drawing in And your humour is as black as them I look at yours, you laugh at mine And "love" is just a miserable lie

Oh the devil will find work for idle hands to do I stole and then i lied just because you asked me to But now you know the truth about me You won't see me anymore Well, i'm still fond of you

Oh the alcoholic afternoons When we sat in your room They meant more to me than any Than any living thing on earth They had more worth Than any living thing on earth

The dream is gone But the baby is real Oh you did a good thing She could have been a poet Or, she could have been a fool Oh you did a bad thing And i'm not happy And i'm not sad

Under the iron bridge we kissed And although i ended up with sore lips It just wasn't like The old days anymore No it wasn't like those days Am i still ill? Am i still ill?

Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds

Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows i'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then i found a job And heaven knows i'm miserable now
