about

For our neighbour at number sixteen,
permanently gowned,
temporarily cowered.

lyrics

She had a withered arm that she flopped around, you
And she had a dependency on prescription drugs & alcohol too
But she had a basic charm that you couldn't see through
And I think that she was wasted on you

Desire is a constant only weakness is fleeting
His head might have been spinning back then
But his heart was still beating
I know she sucked on you for valuable nutrition
But did you have to introduce her to all the competition
One by one in the court of the coffee morning queen?
As she tried to keep your house clean
You kept picking at her weakest seam
Until she came undone, 'til she came undone

She had a baby son that she doted on through
The night when the fates did for him as they'd done for you
And although you could've run until your feet were sore
You hung around (yeah you hung around)
I still think her troubled looks were wasted on you
I think her pasty form was wasted on you
You can't argue, you can't argue...well
Lying there with my knickers twisted
The air is blue and the paint is blistered
Another mouthful of ashen bathwater - had it cut off, last, lost quarter
No exit with feet aflame this fella don't feel the same
I lost it a while ago. Said "forever" so the time goes slow

I'm wasted on you
I'm wasted on you
I'm wasted on you

The Anglo-Japanese band Santa Sprees have been advancing the art of unpopular song since 1994. Making questionable progress from the low-skilled, no-fidelity, no wave of their earliest cassettes to the largely futile primitive avant bubblegum of today, releasing ten collections to date on a trail of defunct labels and media. ... more
