Momus - When I Was an Animal lyrics

When I was an animal I acted pretty badly
Yet you somehow treated me so well
I jumped on you in bed
Sank fangs into your flesh
Your breasts were often lunch and
Your house was my hotel

I covered you with semen
Did not control my urine
Licked you in the face because
I like a salty tongue
Chewed your iPhone cable
Left poo on the table
And when you had guests in
Showed my genitals and bum

And yet you didn't punish me
You fed me and you loved me
What happened to the way that we began?
When I was an animal the
Stars glittered above me
There's just the ceiling now I am a man

When I was an animal I didn't have a job
Didn't give you children or do the washing up
Now you give me hell
When the bathtub overfills
Charge me actual money for my
Share of the bills

When I'm creeping back to
Being an animal again
You inform me I'm a bastard and a pain
You say that I'm responsible
I'm a human being my days of being an animal
Are well and truly gone

I walk on my hind legs now
Brush my hair and part it
What happened to the way that we began?
When I was an animal I
Took so much for granted
Now I wonder who or what I am

When I was an animal you fed
Me and you loved me
What became of the way that we began?
When I was an animal the
Stars glittered above me
There's just the ceiling now I am a man
