Girlfriend’s Finished With Him

The difference between us and all the other bands
Is that we’re different
You can tell by the way we do our interviews
That we are different

Underneath the underlying tones and dizzy melodies
Next to the intelligent guitars
You’ll find frailty, beauty, sex as art
And something or other about dolphins
Parlourmaids, dandelions, things ’bout my mind
And a dead girl’s soul that lives inside me
And we don’t really know what it’s meant to be
But it’s an absolute depth of intensity
But at the end of the night
When the rider’s been ridden
We claim our fee and we get back in the van again
Inspired by no-one, other groups bore us
How can you say we sound like Frazier Chorus?
‘Cos at the end of the night you claim your poke
You get back in to the Wim van Hanegem
Rockabilly Jim from the pub quiz team
Told me something more interesting than your songs ever could

Telly Savalas is set to spearhead
An ‘Oi’ revival down Whitechapel Way
Telly Savalas is set to spearhead
An ‘Oi’ revival down Whitechapel Way
Ol’ Television is set to spearhead
An ‘Oi’ revival down Whitechapel Way

Who loves ya, Costermonger?
