ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL
From journalist to video to Channel 4 TV
Put some lipstick on
I wrote for luck
My life is fulfilled so adequately
I love my dealer and I travel the world
From freelance to new dance
And I expect on the world I am
From Cantonese food to fashionable friends
The list of invites never seems to end
So bomb London and its MPs
John Major
Virginia Bottomley
So bomb London and its legislature
Acid wit beauty and charm
It doesn't take much to twist my arm
Free trip free drink it all goes down so so well
Maybe a Sunday supplement will turn up soon
A documentary on censorship sounds real cool
It's easy to see that I went to public school
So bomb London and its MPs
John Major
Virginia Bottomley
Bomb London and its legislature
So bomb London and its MPs
John Major
Virginia Bottomley
So bomb London and its legislature
So bomb London and its magazines
Time-out, Face and ID
Bomb London its music and its culture
You ain't ever been a racist
But Tyson was guilty man
He was guilty
Donkeys
At least your lies will be pretty
A shadow on my face
And us donkeys wake up weary
Sweating and sickly
Donkey's don't allow their tears
No emotion never feel
And drown themselves in whatever
Find some meaning
Donkeys weight cracking a spine
Sweetness bent double
Whole days making polite
Never moving out of turn
Or even trying to be natural
Those with silence inside
Eyes bare piss holes in the snow
Drained and burnt yellow
And sunk in self-pity
Jerusalem sawn off
Donkeys are only left with lies
Are only left with lies
Wrote For Luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do
You can try but you can't chain me
I can sit and stand and beg and roll over
I don't read
I just guess
There's more than one sign
And it's getting less
When you're wet
You're getting dryer
You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I wrote for luck
They sent me you

They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do
And when you're wet
You're getting dryer
You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
And when it's hot
You start to melt
'Cos you're not made of cheese
You're made of chocolate
And when it's cold
You tend to crack
You keep on piling out
Now put 'em back
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
