Lyrics
Another bad break - burst another bubble
Another lost cause - here's another trouble
Another heart ache - one more chance gone
Another lost chord in yet another wrong song
Sometimes I feel like I'm standing on a hillside -
Screaming at the world (only wishing it would hear)
I can't deny that I'm tired of your lies
But I hope if I hide that you'll all disappear
Can a fat man squeeze a camel through a needles eye? -
As hell freezes over the little pigs fly
Just when things seemed better than before
Listen there's a "black dog" howling at my back door
You say I took it all the wrong way
And got the wrong end of the stick
Proceed to water down the truth
Then make me drink it 'til I'm sick
It's a monkey shine - a mare's nest
A cock and bull story
You're talking through your hat
You're full of sound and fury
You're wide of the mark, on the wrong scent, barking up
The wrong tree, out of it, not a leg to stand on
Dignity is one thing that you can't preserve in alcohol
Here's a drug to blow your mind - it's called sodium pentothal
I've smelt more rats in my time than a sanitary inspector
So every word you start to speak sets off my lie detector
Another bad break - burst another bubble
Another lost cause - here's another trouble
Another heart ache - one more chance gone
Another lost chord in yet another wrong song
Truth often hurts - but it hit me like a hammer
I've been sweating blood for "product" - I thought it was my art
Would it have made it tougher (all I've had to suffer)
If you'd come clean and told me the score from the start?
Stop treating everybody like a charity
I may have sold my soul - but I won't part with my sanity
I was a schizophrenic - my better half left home
The samaritans don't answer when I call them on the telephone
You say the cheque is in the post
And it'll sound great at the mix
But we have heard them all before
Have we the memory span of fish?
It's a monkey shine - a mare's nest
A cock and bull story
You're talking through your hat
You're full of sound and fury
You're wide of the mark, on the wrong scent, barking up
The wrong tree, out of it, not a leg to stand on
Dignity is one thing that you can't preserve in alcohol
Here's a drug to blow your mind - it's called sodium pentothal
I've smelt more rats in my time than a sanitary inspector
So every word you start to speak sets off my lie detector
The wrong song
