Love Like Anthrax

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: Jon King] Woke up this morning, desperation AM What I've been saying, won't say them again My head's not empty, it's full with my brain The thoughts I'm thinking, like piss down a drain [Verse 1: Andy Gill] Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about 'Cause most groups make most of their songs about falling in love Or how happy they are to be in love You occasionally wonder why these groups do sing about it all the time Piss down a drain [Chorus: Jon King] And I feel like a beetle on its back And there's no way for me to get up Love'll get you like a case of anthrax And that's something I don't want to catch [Chorus 1: Andy Gill] It's because these groups think there's something very special about it Either that, or else it's because everybody else sings about it and always has You know, to burst into song, you have to be inspired And nothing inspires quite like love [Verse 2: Jon King] Ought to control what I do to my mind Nothing in there but sunshades for the blind Only yesterday, I said to myself The things I'm doing aren't good for my health [Verse 2: Andy Gill] These groups and singers think that They appeal to everyone by singing about love, because apparently Everyone has, or can, love – I said to myself Or so they would have you believe, anyway But these groups – like a beetle on its back [Chorus: Jon King] And I feel like a beetle on its back And there's no way for me to get up Love'll get you like a case of anthrax And that's something I don't want to catch [Chorus 2: Andy Gill] Go along with popular belief that love is deep in everyone's personality I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love I just don't think that what goes on between two people should be Shrouded in mystery [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] Love'll get you like a case of anthrax And that's something I don't want to catch Love'll get you like a case of anthrax And that's something I don't want to catch
