[00:06.357]History repeats the old conceits
[00:09.106]The glib replies the same defeats
[00:11.861]Keep your finger on important issues
[00:14.356]With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
[00:17.605]Im just the oily slick
[00:19.360]On the windup world of the nervous tick
[00:22.356]In a very fashionable hovel
[00:28.100]I hang around dying to be tortured
[00:30.355]Youll never be alone in the bone orchard
[00:33.349]This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
[00:38.608]So in this almost empty gin palace
[00:43.358]Through a two-way looking glass
[00:45.854]You see your alice
[00:49.348]You know she has no sense
[00:51.856]For all your jealousy
[00:55.106]In a sense she still smiles very sweetly
[00:58.358]Charged with insults and flattery
[01:02.107]Her body moves with malice
[01:05.359]Do you have to be so cruel to be callous
[01:10.105]And now you find you fit this identikit completely
[01:15.355]You say you have no secrets
[01:18.849]And then leave discreetly
[01:20.359]I might make it californias fault
[01:22.355]Be locked in genevas deepest vault
[01:24.852]Just like the canals of mars and the great barrier reef
[01:28.359]I come to you beyond belief
[01:35.101]
[01:37.856]My hands were clammy and cunning
[01:41.104]Shes been suitably stunning
[01:46.354]But I know theres not a hope in hades
[01:51.357]All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
[01:53.107]So-called gentlemen and ladies
[01:55.606]Dog fight like rose and thistle
[01:57.359]Ive got a feeling
[01:59.357]Im going to get a lot of grief
[02:01.607]Once this seemed so appealing
[02:03.604]Now I am beyond belief
