lyrics

I awoke in the art ghetto, to the stink of unwashed brains
To the brown of blocked drains, to a punctured heap of remains
To a pub in the moslem dome
Approximity of my swamp home
To the shiver of a poster ripped
To enamel numbed and stripped
To enamel numbed and stripped

They hate it but they won’t move, stuck like wax in the Ladbroke groove
Why don’t you go and write a song about it!

A magic hipster and a German punk
Well thumbed lives, a career drunk
I could startle with my suspicion
Get really hateful, a crazy fission
Lead head has finally taken root
A lace creeper crawl in a Western boot
A leather skin keeps out the facts
According to this and according to that
According to this and according to that

They hate it but they won’t move, stuck like wax in the Ladbroke groove
Why don’t you go and write a song about it!

There’s no mystery, don’t both to call
Between the light switch and nightfall
A greasy painting and a cultivated sneer
Broken nose drips in dead flat beer

Cancelled eyes signifies defeat
Stored dreams drag next to buckled feet
Walking commercial, everything must go!
Everything’s cool, come on round for a blow
Everything’s cool, come on round for a blow

They hate it but they won’t move, stuck like wax in the Ladbroke groove
Why don’t you go and write a song about it!

It goes ar-ar-art, ar-ar-art, ar-ar-art, ar-ar-art
It goes art, art, art, art, art, art, art, yeah…….
