Lyrics
Mes: what I want to know is why don't real bands with real singers that don't go round explaining themselves. that's right go ahead, get ahead with your puerile slurred word rigmarole and put it out on the lids it's down congealed both the rest of your post nearly half realised birdlike thoughts clogging the solo seventies or new intellectual skinhead morass a shad mock whistle honestly professor competing with it observing scientifically brains are in that need maths to understand chords missing slide back to bottom of ravine while they catch up freezing outside contained thrash about. thinks prescription wait a minute I need time my irritability you will pay for until you realise that it is you that are dumb. it's you keeping me in this bird cage screen. you don't work out go away stage cage move
