Sleeper--Smart

INBETWEENER

She's shopping for kicks, got the weekend to get through
Keeping the rain off her Saturday hairdo
She stops for a coffee she smiles at the waiter
He winks at his friends and they laugh at her later.

He's cleaning his car on his pebbledash driveway
New chamois leather he got for his birthday
He reads Harold Robbins he flirts with his neighbour
Ignores her at breakfast he's reading the paper

He dreams of a roller she dreams of a fast getaway.

He's not a prince he's not a king
She's not a work of art or anything
It makes no sense another year
What kind of A to Z would get you here
He's nothing special, she's not too smart
He studies fashion, she studies art
I though I told you right from the start
You were just my inbetween
Just my inbetween
You're such an inbetweener

She went to the dream boys got tickets from Keith Prowse
She cancelled his lifelong subscription to Penthouse
She goes round the corner she sees Harry Conway
She says to herself that she'll leave him on Monday

He dreams of a roller she dreams of a fast getaway

Chorus x 2

Now it's much too late to ask me where I've been
You were just my inbetweener


SWALLOW

This little creature
Lives in your wardrobe
He's seen you fake it
He's seen you naked

He's been through your pockets
And sucked out your secrets
He stole all your best lines
Seems just like the old times

There
He comes
She swallows

That's no lover
That's a vanity thief
That's no lover
That's a vanity thief

Seen through your good shoes
Rubbed off your red lips
He sits like a fatman
Curled round your thin hips

He messed up your bed sheets
Sucked up your secrets
He stole all your best lines
Seems just like old times

There
He comes
She swallows

Chorus x 2


DELICIOUS

You're a big man
But you're out of shape
I could help you
Get it back again

We should both go to bed
Till we make each other sore
We should both stay in bed
Till we make each other roar

You're a good man
But you're hard to please
You shouldn't worry
It's just my head that's diseased

We should both get away
And explore our darkest dreams
We should both find a place
Where no one can hear our screams

You're delicious (x6)

You're so dirty
Make it dirtier


HUNCH

She's so small
Tiny and crushed up
54, the size of a child

Long pale hair
Her eyes are all red
She's got skin the colour of bread

He's all bald
Crusty and oozing
Got six arms, lips like a frog

Great big hump
Tiny and hunched up
He can't speak, just barks like a dog
Don't come outside with those freakshow eyes
Don't look at me with those freakshow eyes
I'm not like you at all
Don't touch me, you must be crazy

I don't like the shape that you're in
The way you look reminds me of something
It's all because you're nothing like me

Don't come outside with your freakshow eyes
Don't look at me with those freakshow eyes
Just stay inside I'll be safe
Don't come outside I'll feel safe
Don't visit me with your freakshow
I'm not like you at all


AMUSE

Locked inside of a prison of my own construction
I wish the walls wouldn't run around
So I can't touch them

You think it's amusing
Amuses you so much
You think it's amusing

Do you think it's strange that I took so long to mess my face up
I'm just so crazed I can't find the space to wriggle out enough

You think it's amusing
Amuses you so what
You think it's amusing

Ignored me for days just so I'd want you more
Your beautiful face making my eyes feel sore
You're tragically vain
You knew I'd adore you for it

One more day
One more week
I think I've finally found a place where I can sleep


BEDHEAD

Got an open mind just for show
Got a one track mind don't I
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
Got to go got to go but I'm easily

God I'm lost inside you again
Got an old desire for you
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
I'd like to stay and get more bedhead

Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes I think so

Think I'll try to call you again
Make a nice surprise don't you
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
Got to go got to go but I'm easily

Made a note to leave you alone
I'm too drunk to read aren't I
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
I'd like to stay and get more bedhead

Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes I think so

Got to go now, know I must see you soon
We'll get bedhead and stay awake 'till high noon

Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes ooh I think so
Yes, yes ooh I think so


LADY LOVE YOUR COUNTRYSIDE

Lady love your countryside
Your motorways are very nice
Come and get your aerosols
And help me paint up paradise

Let's get messed up boy, messed up good

Come and suck down meat with me
Until it makes you feverish
I like to watch you eating stuff
Do you kiss your mother with those lips

Let's get messed up boy, messed up good

Climb over here
And we could spend some time drinking and scheming
We'll close our eyes
Until we find ourselves hard to believe in

Face it boy, life is a mess
I want to see you boxing naked to the death

Run and get your cigarettes
They make your lungs all treacley
You shouldn't look at me like that
Unless you want to mess with me

Let's get messed up boy, messed up good

Climb over here
And we can spend some time hacking and wheezing
We'll close our eyes
Until we find ourselves hard to believe in

Face it boy, life is a mess
I want to see you boxing naked to the ...

Come over here
And we could spend some time shopping till it gets dark
Come over here
And we could spend our lives puking in Belsize Park

You know, life is a mess
I want to see you boxing naked to the death


VEGAS

He lives on his own
The TV's on loan
He watches old movies

He lives in a flat
The lino's all cracked
But he's got plans bingo

He sings like Sinatra with more feel
Plays with his pocket roulette wheel all day
And no one stopped him

He got away
Waited all this time with
All this scratching around
In one place, made it just in time
All this talk about luck

He's just so loaded
He's just so loaded down

He gets on a plane
He changes his name
He flies off to Las Vegas

He saved up for years
Cashed in his fears
He always had plans bingo

He packs up his white lounge lizard suit
Plenty of hairspray and a big cigar
And no one stopped him

He got away
Took him 40 years
To plan his route of escape
From this place, made it just in time with
All this talk about luck

He's just so loaded
He's just so loaded down

The first time he flew
Watched the Vegas skyline
Gently melt into view
All this booze, swore he just saw Elvis
Playing poker at Dunes

He's just so loaded
He's just so loaded
He's just so loaded now


POOR FLYING MAN

I see a man all alone in the air
I think that man needs a comb for his hair
He fell from the sky on a cold afternoon
Crashed into earth on a dark afternoon

I just haven't felt the same
But then I'm very sentimental

He's not a bird
He's not a plane
This is a man
Poor flying man

I see a man all alone in the air
Nobody asked what he has to declare
'Coz he froze coming down
All the way to the ground
He froze coming down
With that look on his face

I just haven't felt the same
But then you know I'm sentimental

He's not a bird
He's not a plane
This is a man
Poor flying man

He's not a bird
What have you heard?
This is a flying man
This is a man who flies

If I had a moment to live
I'd wish I could fly
I'd go to a place that was ever so high
I'd step from a plane into the sky
A second to live, I wish I could ...

He's not a bird
What have you heard
This is a flying man
This is a man who flys
This is a flying man
This is a flying mad mad mad man


ALICE IN VAIN

Alice in the playground
She ain't got a boyfriend
Oh, oh, that's a pity
She's not even pretty

Alice hears them whisper
They smile when they see her
Oh, oh, she'll discover
Girls don't hurt each other

Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself
Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself

I hurt myself
I hurt my Alice in vain

Alice doesn't eat much
Alice don't go out much
Oh, oh, now you're happy
It's too late for Alice

Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself
Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself

I hurt myself
I hurt my Alice in vain
Alice in vain

I hurt myself (x3)
I hurt my Alice in vain
Alice in vain (x3)


TWISTED

She's seen one and it looks funny
It made her cry, said "BOO" to her
She captured one, all hairy
Stuck needles in its eyes, he cries

He's reading a thin book
It's got no words, just pictures
She sent him away it's good to be king
Came back the same day, reconstructed him

You're twisted, uh-huh uh-huh (x3)
Your insides are twisted

I said the wrong word so shoot me
As long as you don't constrict me
You all look the same, it's spooky
You say the same thing, it's ugly

You're twisted, uh-huh uh-huh (x3)
Your insides are twisted
Twist
You're twisted
You're twisted


PYROTECHNICIAN

Throw me your matches 'cos I like to burn stuff
Give me your lighter to keep me amused

Kiss your fingers goodbye, bye, bye
I'm burning them
Kiss your fingers goodbye, bye, bye
I'm burning
As a matter of fact they've just turned black

I think you're attractive but in a strange way
It's always exciting when you're around

Kiss your Bentley goodbye, bye, bye
I'm burning
As a matter of fact it's just turned black

Pyromania

so pyrotechnician, I think I love you
When will you let me join in your stunts

Kiss your fingers goodbye, bye, bye
I'm burning them
Kiss your fingers goodbye, bye, bye
I'm burning
As a matter of fact they've just turned black
