Momus - Unreconstructed lyrics
[Momus - Unreconstructed lyrics]
Banged up in the clinker with
A milkman for a mate
I must 'ave 'ad it coming
But I don't prognosticate
The Sweeney doing ninety with the
Sirens and the lights
And me in striped pyjamas
And the Tottenham tights
She's the last of a dying
Breed a diamond under stress
In a time when yes means no and no means yes
Well she's not much of a looker
And her father is an 'orse
But, I like to get my
Oats without using any force
It's an orrible world
Well I'm a tad unreconstructed
That I will admit
But, I do believe in socialism
On a Friday night
I take my lady down the Castle
Hit the brandy hard
Then it's bouncy-bouncy stabby-stabby
Down the knacker's yard
It used to be a struggle but
You knew just what to do
Everyone read Dworkin so you ad
To read er too
She said sexual intercourse is
Just naked aggression
You said "That is sadly true
But it's also self-expression"
It's an 'orrible world
Well you might as well 'ang for
A sheep as a lamb that's what I always say
And it's up the patriarchy in
The manly month of May
But they've abandoned revolution and your
Barnet's thin and grey
So, it's down the hatch, up the crotch
Cheers and bombs away
In an 'orrible world, can't get no joy
With political girls
A milkman for a mate
I must 'ave 'ad it coming
But I don't prognosticate
The Sweeney doing ninety with the
Sirens and the lights
And me in striped pyjamas
And the Tottenham tights
She's the last of a dying
Breed a diamond under stress
In a time when yes means no and no means yes
Well she's not much of a looker
And her father is an 'orse
But, I like to get my
Oats without using any force
It's an orrible world
Well I'm a tad unreconstructed
That I will admit
But, I do believe in socialism
On a Friday night
I take my lady down the Castle
Hit the brandy hard
Then it's bouncy-bouncy stabby-stabby
Down the knacker's yard
It used to be a struggle but
You knew just what to do
Everyone read Dworkin so you ad
To read er too
She said sexual intercourse is
Just naked aggression
You said "That is sadly true
But it's also self-expression"
It's an 'orrible world
Well you might as well 'ang for
A sheep as a lamb that's what I always say
And it's up the patriarchy in
The manly month of May
But they've abandoned revolution and your
Barnet's thin and grey
So, it's down the hatch, up the crotch
Cheers and bombs away
