Lyrics I Love
This is for Daniel, Esq
Well it was '94
when i dug you up
And like the time before,
It was just bad luck
I should have knocked you out
With an upper cut
But you smothered me shut
What is with me,
And these needy folk?
As it starts out fun,
Soon becomes a joke
Before we got a laugh
We were up in smoke
It's rich going for broke
It's rich going for broke
The people carrier
Takes care of our soul
Our safety barrier
Won't let us fall
When you hit the drink,
You're a different character
And it all comes down in
a twisted mess
When you're holding court
You're a big end barrister
Desperate to impress
I see you open up
On a rare occasion
You've been dead so long
That you decompose
And you come on strong
Like a pitch invasion
And the following day
the case is closed
And the following day
the case is closed
The people carrier
Gets us from a to b
We're so much happier
Now we can see
I nearly broke my back
Trying to bring you happiness
I was way off track
Some crazy whore
Then i collapse
In a shabby mess
Fresh grounds for divorce
Fresh grounds for divorce
The people carrier
On top of it all
Over the safety barrier
And then we fall
A people carrier
On top of it all
Over safety barrier
And then we fall
Well it was '94
when i dug you up
And like the time before,
It was just bad luck
I should have knocked you out
With an upper cut
But you smothered me shut
What is with me,
And these needy folk?
As it starts out fun,
Soon becomes a joke
Before we got a laugh
We were up in smoke
It's rich going for broke
It's rich going for broke
The people carrier
Takes care of our soul
Our safety barrier
Won't let us fall
When you hit the drink,
You're a different character
And it all comes down in
a twisted mess
When you're holding court
You're a big end barrister
Desperate to impress
I see you open up
On a rare occasion
You've been dead so long
That you decompose
And you come on strong
Like a pitch invasion
And the following day
the case is closed
And the following day
the case is closed
The people carrier
Gets us from a to b
We're so much happier
Now we can see
I nearly broke my back
Trying to bring you happiness
I was way off track
Some crazy whore
Then i collapse
In a shabby mess
Fresh grounds for divorce
Fresh grounds for divorce
The people carrier
On top of it all
Over the safety barrier
And then we fall
A people carrier
On top of it all
Over safety barrier
And then we fall

"I never said I was frightened of dying"
Celluiod Heroes Never Die
~Kinks
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
