It's a Curse - The Fall

It’s a curse

Well thy forsooth

Who is that interesting hack over there?

By Gad, verily

Cracked curse

Disliked.

.. disliked

Burdened

It’s a curse

And am not unguilty of using it

«You, your tone is…

You tone of everybody»

Trying to bolt out of

Trying to get over

Operation mind fuck

«I do not like your tone

It has ephemeral whinging* aspects.»

It’s a curse

It’s a curse

I am not unguilty of using it

Waiting for you to f…

Trying to get out of

Tryna get out of

Waiting

They are waiting, bitterly, for you to fall over

It’s a curse

Down their long egg breath

Cheap shaving lotion days

Their sandwiches stashed under their side seats

Their froglike chins ready to burst

I tell you, it’s a curse, it’s a burden, it’s a curse

Trying to get over bargain vampires

In shops

I tell you it’s a curse

«You, your tone is…

You, your tone is…»

Trying to get out of

It’s a curse

Shafted over

It’s a curse

It’s a burden

That’s a burden

Operation Mind-Fuck

Look back bores

It’s a curse

Bach and Wagner

All you really need is a good Schwartz

It’s a curse

Balti and Vimto and Spangles**

Were always crap

Regardless of the look back bores

It’s a curse (x3)

Shafted over (x3)

It’s a curse

Shafted over

Trying to bolt out of

Waiting for you

It’s a curse

I tell ya, it’s a curse
