I try not to stand too close to myself
I try not to listen to the things I say
They say there's no such thing as self abuse
But you wonder how I can be [bad word] If I'm finely tuned and well adjusted
Oh pity about you
Oh pity about me
More's the pity about her
Every time [bad word] inside you had [bad word] You had [bad word] You wish that [bad word] would go away
You're not the only one

Squinting at broad daylight [bad word] up a conversation
Parsons brass is pealing appealing [bad word] up a congregation
Hands reaching for a glass of water
Dry socks and razor rash
Your shoes under my bed [bad word] do, my cigarette ash
I've tried to play it open handed
I've tried to make a fist of this
Even when the questions are candid
My arrows miss
I've heard about your fragile ego
Your shield, your sword
What am I expected to do?
Shout man overboard? [bad word] around when I'm asleep
Roll around and try to wake me
That's alright you've got to go now
Words overtake me
Your pubic hairs are on my pillow
Your stubble rings the sink
Your words under my skin
Your table manners stink
I paddle in the things I love
You wallow in a swamp of trivia
In a vase with insincere I love yous
Next door's Camellias
I'm sick and tired of this position
Hatched underneath an arm
[bad word] under stress [bad word] when it's calm
I'm bored of staring at the ceiling
While you point out my flaws
I've watched the wallpaper peeling from slamming doors
You talk about [bad word] envy
Your friends applaud
What am I expected to do?
Shout man overboard? [bad word] across to other girls
Look around and start [bad word] Jealous wife scenes raise a smile at parties
Like anal humour
Are you addicted to attention?
Do you do it for effect?
Your wit out of control
Misunderstood and henpecked
