lyrics

I never felt so good, I never felt so strong

Born by the top-security prison,
you sent yourself to public school
Now everybody’s drooling on the downstroke
‘cause Cracknell’s comin’ to clown the blokes

Went to the dub reggae jamdown in the town
All the smog, all the fog, all the rain – what a shame
Nothin’ but swingin’ chicks dressed like Cracknell
Big, beautiful white shirts, platforms, enormous lapels

I you were my teacher, I’d love you
Swinging Miss Cracknell, I’d only adore you
If I was 12 and so were you and So Tough was on the Cube
I’d walk you, walk you home from school

Bad taste has never tasted to tasty
and now Mark E. Smith is a little hasty
with his brisk denunciation of the aesthetic:
cigarette, cup of napalm, and a diuretic

Trifling was the day before the day I fell in love with you
and the Blowtorch too
Spit in the eye of mundanity, rescue the working class,
and shake that ass

Went to the record shop a thousand years ago
Different generation’s garbage stacked up by the door
Smuggled sweetly on the midday playlist was “Honeydish”
Ooh, you’re on my list – kiss me with icy lips and make a wish

You said, with the love you got, I’d forget her, I’d find it easier to live without her.
Now I can’t live without you.
