It's A Curse
The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
It's a curse, well, thy forsooth
Who is that interesting hack over there?
By Gad, verily
Cracked curse, disliked
Disliked, burdened
It's a curse
And I am not unguilty of using it
You, your tone is, you
You tone of everybody
Tryin' to bolt out, tryin' to get over
Operation mind fuck
I do not like your tone
It has ephemeral, whinging aspects
It's a curse, it's a curse
I am not unguilty of using it
Waiting for you to fuck
Tryin' to get out, tryin' to get out
Waiting, they are waiting bitterly for you to fall over
It's a curse, down their long egg breath
Cheap shaving lotion days
Their sandwiches stashed under their side seats
Their froglike chins ready to burst
I tell you, it's a curse, it's a burden, it's a curse
Tryin' to get over bargain vampires
Hey chaps, I tell you it's a curse
You, your tone is, you, your tone is
Tryin' to get out of, tryin' to get out of
It's a curse, shaft it over, it's a curse
I tell you, it's a curse, it's a curse
It's a burden, that's a burden
Operation mind-fuck
Look back, bores, it's a curse
Bach and Wagner
All you really need is a good Schwartz
It's a curse
Balti and Vimto and Spangles
Were always crap
Regardless of the look back bores
It's a curse, it's a curse
It's a curse, shaft it over
Shaft it over, shaft it over
It's a curse, shaft it over
Trying to bolt out of
Waiting for you, it's a curse
I tell you, it's a curse
Who is that interesting hack over there?
By Gad, verily
Cracked curse, disliked
Disliked, burdened
It's a curse
And I am not unguilty of using it
You, your tone is, you
You tone of everybody
Tryin' to bolt out, tryin' to get over
Operation mind fuck
I do not like your tone
It has ephemeral, whinging aspects
It's a curse, it's a curse
I am not unguilty of using it
Waiting for you to fuck
Tryin' to get out, tryin' to get out
Waiting, they are waiting bitterly for you to fall over
It's a curse, down their long egg breath
Cheap shaving lotion days
Their sandwiches stashed under their side seats
Their froglike chins ready to burst
I tell you, it's a curse, it's a burden, it's a curse
Tryin' to get over bargain vampires
Hey chaps, I tell you it's a curse
You, your tone is, you, your tone is
Tryin' to get out of, tryin' to get out of
It's a curse, shaft it over, it's a curse
I tell you, it's a curse, it's a curse
It's a burden, that's a burden
Operation mind-fuck
Look back, bores, it's a curse
Bach and Wagner
All you really need is a good Schwartz
It's a curse
Balti and Vimto and Spangles
Were always crap
Regardless of the look back bores
It's a curse, it's a curse
It's a curse, shaft it over
Shaft it over, shaft it over
It's a curse, shaft it over
Trying to bolt out of
Waiting for you, it's a curse
I tell you, it's a curse
