Momus - Bartleby lyrics
[Momus - Bartleby lyrics]
So here you come again
Updating terms of service
You give yourself ten extra ways to
Burn and bloody and hurt us
Cynical? Well I should bloody hope so
Woke? Well I should bloody cocoa
You bet our bloody lives on
Winning then you bloody lost
I'm not your bloody scrivener to
Count the bloody cost
But, I mustn't be a Bartleby
And say I'd rather not
I pre-agreed, you did the rest
And sure, you lost the plot
You screwed things up so splendidly
I really have to laugh
I pre-agreed to everything
You did on my behalf
Adamant that you can still deliver everything
Chomping in the chicken bar while
We sit chewing skin
What you lot have got it's not
What you have ought to got
I know what bloody decent is
And this is bloody not
You bet our bloody lives on
Winning then you bloody lost
You're not my bloody saviour
Carrying your cross
But, I mustn't be a Bartleby
And say I'd rather not
I pre-agreed, you did the rest
And sure, you lost the plot
You screwed things up, and screwed me down
You really had a laugh
I pre-agreed to everything
You did on my behalf
And there is no lawyer sly enough
To talk you off this hook
The bloody time has bloody come
To throw the bloody book
Bartleby the scrivener it really costs a lot
Staying on the same page
With an age that's lost the plot
Keeping up with awfulness
We really had a laugh
We pre-agreed to everything
They did on our behalf
Updating terms of service
You give yourself ten extra ways to
Burn and bloody and hurt us
Cynical? Well I should bloody hope so
Woke? Well I should bloody cocoa
You bet our bloody lives on
Winning then you bloody lost
I'm not your bloody scrivener to
Count the bloody cost
But, I mustn't be a Bartleby
And say I'd rather not
I pre-agreed, you did the rest
And sure, you lost the plot
You screwed things up so splendidly
I really have to laugh
I pre-agreed to everything
You did on my behalf
Adamant that you can still deliver everything
Chomping in the chicken bar while
We sit chewing skin
What you lot have got it's not
What you have ought to got
I know what bloody decent is
And this is bloody not
You bet our bloody lives on
Winning then you bloody lost
You're not my bloody saviour
Carrying your cross
But, I mustn't be a Bartleby
And say I'd rather not
I pre-agreed, you did the rest
And sure, you lost the plot
You screwed things up, and screwed me down
You really had a laugh
I pre-agreed to everything

And there is no lawyer sly enough
To talk you off this hook
The bloody time has bloody come
To throw the bloody book
Bartleby the scrivener it really costs a lot
Staying on the same page
With an age that's lost the plot
Keeping up with awfulness
We really had a laugh
