Momus - Goodiepal lyrics
[Momus - Goodiepal lyrics]
Who killed the eskimos who understood
The rules of happiness?
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
Who raped the great banana growing
On the tree of happiness?
One point for the dark Satanic mills
One up on the noble savage
Everything we need is here
Stop trying to succeed
One point for the dark Satanic
Mills, one down for the noble savage
Who owns the pop machine the polyester seed?
Who owns the pepper mills that
Spice up the prickly cabbage?
Down by the willow tree I
Joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky
I never knew it was that high
Don't know you very well
You're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow
I wish you hadn't said that now
Down by the willow tree
There's nothing that could make us happier
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
Stop trying to succeed
Stop running round your human hamster wheel
One point for the dark Satanic mills
One up on the noble savage
Who drank the pussy milk
Who bunged the chalk in the frigid buttercup?
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
And just exactly how long do we
Have to wait for the trees
To chop the Nazi axes up?
And help the frigid buttercup
Weep me and I'll weep you back
The willow seemed to say
Swing with the Goodiepal
Race Pat Pat off the rocks
Down by the willow tree I
Joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky
I never knew it was that high
Don't know you very well
You're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow
I wish you hadn't said that now
The rules of happiness?
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
Who raped the great banana growing
On the tree of happiness?
One point for the dark Satanic mills
One up on the noble savage
Everything we need is here
Stop trying to succeed
One point for the dark Satanic
Mills, one down for the noble savage
Who owns the pop machine the polyester seed?
Who owns the pepper mills that
Spice up the prickly cabbage?
Down by the willow tree I
Joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky
I never knew it was that high
Don't know you very well
You're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow
I wish you hadn't said that now
Down by the willow tree
There's nothing that could make us happier
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
Stop trying to succeed
Stop running round your human hamster wheel
One point for the dark Satanic mills
One up on the noble savage
Who drank the pussy milk
Who bunged the chalk in the frigid buttercup?
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
And just exactly how long do we
Have to wait for the trees
To chop the Nazi axes up?
And help the frigid buttercup
Weep me and I'll weep you back
The willow seemed to say
Swing with the Goodiepal
Race Pat Pat off the rocks
Down by the willow tree I
Joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky
I never knew it was that high
Don't know you very well
You're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow
I wish you hadn't said that now
