New Invention by The Jazz Butcher Lyrics
I don't know what you think of this country
But I know what it thinks about you
It took half a bottle and a miserable decade
Just to bring this message to you - it's true
The leaves were falling from the trees in the park
The little dog looked up and saw that he was quite alone
The little dog looked up, thought perhaps he could improve himself
The little dog considered, thought perhaps he'd get a linguaphone
Chorus:
Do you need a New Invention? Are you in the right dimension?
There's something I should mention now....
Gerald has been in my wardrobe, and Richard is going insane
'Coz he's seen 3 worlds and he's lived 9 lives
Now he's back at home again
I don't know what you think of this country
But i think that it's going to be bad
Happy shopper ecstasy, bingo with Jesus
The hit man and her - Christ! I feel as though I'm going mad
Grace and hailstorms, trains and brainstorms
All-night bus rides, brand new life forms
Ancient Rome in your very own home
Sex on the phone - I can't see for the pheromones
And Gerald has been in my wardrobe, and Richard is going insane;
And we're all going to hell in a chrome wheelbarrow..
Somebody please explain...
I don't know if they think in this country
I've been looking but I've never found proof
They tell me they know what they're doing down here
But they should see what's living up on my roof
Chorus
Hey! Look at that!
Gerald has been in my wardrobe, and Richard here is going insane
'Coz he's just like me in one important way
And now he's back at home again
Now listen - all of these things that you want so very badly
Are the things that I'd let you have now and GLADLY:
Mothers with ansaphones, bloodlust and pheromones -
This is an island, this is the twilight zone
It'll take more than a New Invention
Like it or now we're in this dimension
History's made when there's this much tension
Won't you get on it now, show me your intention?
The little dog looked up and saw that he was quite alone
The little dog looked up and saw that he was really quite alone
But I know what it thinks about you
It took half a bottle and a miserable decade
Just to bring this message to you - it's true
The leaves were falling from the trees in the park
The little dog looked up and saw that he was quite alone
The little dog looked up, thought perhaps he could improve himself
The little dog considered, thought perhaps he'd get a linguaphone
