lyrics
Oranges and lemons, he was the belle of St. Kevin's
He hocked his tiny arse to the whole fifth class
Kissin' them better like the lady with the lamp
Curing what ails ya in the house of the rising damp
He talks like Lester Bangs and bangs like Lester talks
1% excited, 99% just bored
He can't give head 'coz he's got thirty two left teeth
And he starts to giggle or forgets to breathe
He wants to break into your car
And fall asleep beneath your stars
Here comes the candle to light him to bed
And here comes the chopper to chop off his head
You owe me your hard on says the sweet St. Martin
You owe me to meet me at midnight in the garden
We'll scare the apples right off of the tree
And scandalize the neighbourhood
By swallowing the seeds
Me, I was entranced by the spastic way he danced
Merce Cunningham caught up in a Bob Fosse trance
Clearing the kitchen by centrifugal force
The keys to the city a-janglin' in his purse
He wants to learn all the names of God
But the minute he does, well, the whole thing stops
Here comes the candle to light him to bed
And here comes the chopper to chop off his head
With his little clouds of rock'n'roll and Brut 66
His poppers and his soda bulbs
His pockets full of teenage kicks
His thrills, pills and bellyaches
His phasers set to stun
His Oxford shoegazers left out in the sun
He tosses out one liners from St. Thomas Aquinas
Lord, make me good, but not till I'm ready
Stolen wine is sweeter & it makes the night look pretty
'Tis pity, it's so hard to be a saint in the city
He wants a glimpse of his next life
It's not promising, but in town the rumours are rife
From ice cream headaches at the crack of noon
To wet dream heartaches & brides left behind in June
He's got the radio tuned between stations
He's trying to pick up Venus or Mars
But the full moon is sapping his patience
And there's chatter going on between him & his stars
He's trying all the numbers in his pocket
But nobody's making the scene
He's dropping all his drugs on the carpet
And sighing through those old dirty magazines
He's singing with Sviatoslav Richter
As he rips through Beethoven's fourth
And Melbourne's so cold in the winter
When the beautiful people go north
