You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care
But don't stare
Because he's still there
Lamenting
Policewomen, policemen, silly women, taxmen
Uniformed whores
They who wish to hurt you
Work within the law
This world is full
So full of crashing bores
And I must be one
Cos no one ever turns to me to say
Take me in your arms
Take me in your arms
And love me

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care
And say a prayer
Because he's still there
Lamenting
Policewomen, policemen, silly women, taxmen
Uniformed whores
Educated criminals
Work within the law

This world is full
So full of crashing bores
And I must be one
Cos no one ever turns to me to say
Take me in your arms
Take me in your arms
And love me
And love me

What really lies
Beyond the constraints of my mind
Could it be the sea
With fate mooning back at me?
No, it's just more lock jawed pop stars
Thicker than pig shit
Nothing to convey
They're so scared to show intelligence
It might smear their lovely career

This world
I am afraid
Is designed for crashing bores
I am not one
I am not one
You don't understand
You don't understand
And yet you can
Take me in your arms and love me
Love me
And love me

Take me in your arms and love me
Love me, love me
Take me in your arms and love me
Take me in your arms and love me
Would you do
Would you do
What you should do
