Mark Forsyth commentates on the song.

lyrics

I wake in the morning just before dawn Uhtceare my dreamery’s gone
Thinking there’s so much to do and no time Day-peep comes but the sun doesn’t shine Cunctuation I can’t face the day
Pissaprest, hope it goes away
The rum-peeper shows me my pimginnits I’m trying fucation to cover my zits
I can’t be bothered to straighten my hair I’m cymotrichous and I don’t care
Most of my clothes are second hand
I’m a ragabash cos I’m in a band
I’m in need of ariston and a butter-shag
My cackling farts are over done
My toast is brizzled and Brizzle’s my home It’s time to leave it with my cello
And more, to oxter lift and go
It’s the day of the gig at the bookshop
The band must charette and write till we drop It’s a panic party but a jolly one
As long as we Chado to help us with songs Ben is our host and makes pots of tea
We’re about to be golopshusly
bedinnered you’ll see
His cackling farts are just spot on
There’s cheesy toast within this home Now it’s time to leave it with our big load And more, to oxter lift and go
Waiting for people to turn up and sit Nervously practising this little bit
Fisking around the bookshop and then The author and audience, ladies and men Now we’re at the song’s eschaton
Soon to be qua tide for this little one. Nod-crafty people say they listened hard Now to be vinolent, hand me a glass.
My fackling carts are over done
My head is Brizzled or is that my home? It’s time to leave with David’s sow
And more to oxter lift and go.
