If you ever hear a noise in the night your body starts to sweat, it shakes and shivers in fright you go and sleep with your mother she hates you guts she knows that you love her so she holds you tight all through the night in to the broad daylight And when she doesn't come home you'll have to sleep alone then you wet your bed and I think that's sad for a girl of 19 it's more than sad, it's obscene! 1,2 And your girlfriend sweet little 17 she's got her layered hair and her flared jeans you know what that means, she's just a little queen she shares your London flat she thinks that London's where it's at Although it stinks and when it rains you wear your hat and your plum colored pvc wet- look maxi mac You tie your ginger hair back in a bun you're the ugliest creature, under the sun! 1,2 Go! 1,2 And you think it's about time that you died, and I agree so you decide on suicide you tried but you never quite carried it out you only wanted to die in order to show off and if you think you're gonna bleed all over me you're even wronger than you'd normaly be And the only things you want to see are kitsch And the only thing you want to be is rich Your little pink up-pointed nose begins twitch I know you know you're just a little bitch! 1,2

Why must you record my phone calls? Are you planning a bootleg LP? Said you've been threatened by gangsters Now it's you, that's threatening me
Can't fight corruption with con tricks They use the law to commit crime And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring When we're living in gangster time
Don't call me scar face
Can't interrupt while I'm talking Or they'll confiscate all your guitars And Catch 22 says if I sing the truth They won't make me an overnight star
Don't offer us legal protection They use the law to commit crime I dread to think what the future will bring When we're living in real gangster time
