Lyrics

I would rejoice the choice not to mess up the mess we're in around here Sometimes But I'm not gonna push no one nowhere Leave nature to its course Why infringe on a fringe which is precision made unkempt I don't ask much - just being here is all I attempt You could maybe say I'm conducting a sociological survey I ain't ripped off or sucked in on a neater kind of holiday Can anybody tell me, who is the grand poobah round here? There's many people under many impressions I've wanted to know all year A person I know is a pornographic philosopher She's a dirty joke from one end of the town to the other I think there must be some mistake here She's younger than me yet older than my mother I can't decide if this is lively or lugubrious But I ain't gonna start facin' about it 'cos loose lips sink loose ships Pacemakers molest loose hips Personally I can do without it But when the asterisk takes over is when you should worry But never revived your process in pain 'cos who knows - in a week or two You may wish you hadn't an' make a trip down memory lane Now I can't decide if it's viscereal or visceral I've heard of people who are in no hurry People who are like a dodgy curry Even more people who don't wanna worry, who get in a flurry Say they're sorr, don't say they're sorry, don't you call it "corrie"? Here comes a line! [Spoken] "Down boy, down boy! Down boy! Oh, down! [?] Into everybody's life, a little rain must fall! But every cloud has a silver lining! And you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him wash it all off When I'm feelin' a little down, these are just a few of the lines I like to think of And they make me feel good I got taught them by my pappy, and I hope they might help brighten your day, as they do mine" Is that a line? For every cloud that has a silver line (is that a line?) You'll find one which has decided to lead a life of crime (is that a line?) Who will dust off the career of a weather-eater in his prime (is that a line?) (Is that a line?) When there seems to be no obstacles in the way (is that a line?) When I ask if a human object's okay (is that a line?) When I feel a neater feeling than you feel (is that a line?) Is it a line? Is it a line? Would you please appease my pleas (is that a line?) For peas pudding, peas and plum pudding please (is that a line?) I know, frozen food doesn't grow on trees, ow! Whoo! (Is that a line?) If I offer you a better deal (is that a line?) If I polish up some rods of shiny steel (is that a line?) If one makes out, one knows how another one feels (is that a line?) Is it a line? Is it a line? (Is that a line?) Person can't keep down person's bile (is that a line?) When person realizes person is on trial (is that a line?) Person calm down in awhile (is that a line?) Ow! Darling, any day you'll get my vote (is that a line?) Darling, I just love you for your new fur coat (is that a line?) Or is that your hairy shoulders You could just about part your spine (is that a line?) This is a line... this is a line (Is that a line?) Not so much hitting as missing (is that a line?) See you at the next bout of pretend kissing (is that a line?) One spreads one's phlegm around too much (is that a line?) Bye bye saliva - keep in touch (Is that a line?) Beware of these danger spots (is that a line?) The place where old actresses go to rot (is that a line?) The trouble with old actresses is that they've always got the same old plots (is that a line?) I know your lines, I know your lines (Is that a line?) Is it a line? (Is that a line? Is that a line?)
