Me And Howard Hughes lyrics

Song information

Artist: Boomtown Rats
Album: Tonic For The Troops

Lyrics

Hand me down a strong panacea
One that's guaranteed to make me feel like hercules
There's flies everywhere, buzzing in the air
Filling my body with filth and disease....and I think

He thinks he should develop a complex
He thinks that he really owes it to himself
His friends'll all say he's looking sick and unhealthy
An' then he can wallow in sweet self-neglect

Oh oh yeah...he's gonna

Lock himself up in his room
Shutter the windows and bolt all the doors
Wrap himself round in his wall street cocoon
He's painting the ceiling, the walls and the floor

He's gonna lock himself up in his room
And when he emerges have a new change of style
He keeps saying things like it's me and howard hughes
You'd wana watch out for that dangerous smile

Oh, oh yeah...
