Lyrics

Really don't mind if you sit this one out My word's but a whisper, your deafness a shout I may make you feel, but I can't make you think Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink So you ride yourselves over the fields Then you make all your animal deals And your wise men don't know how it feels To be thick as a brick And the sandcastle virtues are all swept away In the tidal destruction, the moral melee The elastic retreat rings the close of play As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way But your new shoes are worn at the heels And your sun tan does rapidly peel And your wise men don't know how it feels To be thick as a brick And the love that I feel Is so far away I'm a bad dream that I just had today And you shake your head And say it's a shame Spin me back down the years And the days of my youth Draw the lace and black curtains And shut out the whole truth Spin me down the long ages Let them sing the song
