Dog Form by The Scaramanga Six Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a former life I was a famous painter – famously I painted myself into a corner
Perpetually under attack! - from the straw that broke the camel’s back
Didn’t like my mind – Thought I’d change it for another one
I was feeling listless, so I got myself a note book and a ball point pen

[Chorus]
It’s me – in dog form
It’s me – in dog form

[Verse 2]
Spent my life living on a diet of nothing but food for thought
The Postman came a knocking one day – Yeah, I bit him in the Aster Bar
Everything in this house has human qualities it seems - except yours truly
Woke up in a mermaid’s purse – Stockholm syndrome in reverse

[Chorus]
It’s me – in dog form
It’s me – in dog form

[Bridge]
Anthropomorphic hound, dutifully bows
Anthropomorphic hound, duty bound
[Verse 3]
We erected a statue of the two of us as centaurs at the bottom of the garden
Our bows and arrows point toward the belt of Orion at a certain time of year
That was the form I chose – but not the form that arose
A fanciful reflection of a dream -
In reality the animal component of the hybrid is replaced by canid

[Chorus]
It’s me – in dog form
It’s me – in dog form

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Anthropomorphic hound, [anthropomorphic hound] dutifully bows [anthropomorphic hound, dutifully bowed]
Anthropomorphic hound, [anthropomorphic hound] dutifully bows [anthropomorphic hound, dutifully bowed]
Anthropomorphic hound, [anthropomorphic hound] dutifully bows [anthropomorphic hound, dutifully bowed]
Anthropomorphic hound, [anthropomorphic hound] dutifully bows [anthropomorphic hound, dutifully bowed]
