Momus - Nasty Child lyrics

[Momus - Nasty Child lyrics]

Nasty child you've got so wild
Bad and strong and free
Nobody knows to look at you now
How you once were part of me

Nasty child so free and wild
You cut us like a knife
Me and the cow who long ago
Gave you the gift of life

You used to clasp our fingertips
And chuckle with delight
Look at you now, nasty child
All dressed up, out in the night

The lips we fed are lipstick red
You suck your stick of rock
The legs we taught how to walk
Now go, nonstop, right to the top

We gave you milk and words to speak


We watched you chew a rusk
Maybe we weren't so sure of ourselves
When we tried to force you to be just like us

Nasty child you took control
You've got this life all sussed
Grabbed the stuff that you could grab
And never gave a shit for us

And though the cow kicked up a stink
And thrashed you day and night
Nasty child the way you lived seems so right

I love you so much my nasty child
You don't love me one bit
But maybe I'll learn, learn from you now
Not to give a shit

My nasty child, grown up so wild
So bold and bad and free
Tell me how to be like you
Before you get like me

You grabbed your life by the
Scruff of the neck wild and strong and free
Nasty child ask for the Earth
In your nasty way
