lyrics

Who Will Marry Me?

So your moment came you were sitting on the loo
Thinking of the things you wished you had the balls to do
Your dark side was loud and clear deep down in the dumps
Picking over cracking bones and old breadcrumbs
Look at you you're just a joke with ketchup on your tie
Not to mention collars - they'd give the dead a fright
Your leather and your motorbikes won't help you know
But I've still got my poetry and you've lost your fake tan

And I see apes in the aeroplanes and fish in the trees
And when all is said and done who will marry me?

Meander here wander there just go as you please
That's no way to live your life as far as I can see
I thought I sent my form in to the powers that be
With your memory like a civet you probably sent a tree
I love the smell of morning in the morning when we rise
The market hates uncertainty so wake and hold on tight
Flat head, countersunk or just zinc-coated
I don't care just screw them all hard against the wall

And I see apes in the aeroplanes and fish in the trees
And when all is said and done who will marry me?

What the devil have you done to the jewel in your crown?
I bought a bird of paradise I put my payment down
I wish upon the satellites as good as all the stars
I wish upon the city lights and pushing taxi cars
My family trees a sorry tale I tell it in the pub
Except there's no-one listening just coin-collecting cubs
Some years ago I fell to earth and landed in the woods
Maybe you are half a tree with only half your goods

And I see apes in the aeroplanes and fish in the trees
And when all is said and done who will marry me?
