Song Lyrics

These are the words of expectation
These are the words of success, expectation
From a pleasing mug
From a pleasing pan
Every now and then I would like to try something like this
It is the modicum of my career
[I would like at the bottom of my..]



These are the words of expectation
These are the words of success, expectation
[Middle right or to the left
I have tears I shed tears
And I am here to enable everybody..]
The whole world is large, and whatever it is
The whole trend is effective
Whether middle, right or to the left
I have tears, I shed fears, I have tears, I have fears
And I am here to enable everybody to say yes, no
Or I don`t know even
Like Leicester Polytechnic
Is scheisse, is scheisse



These are the words of success, expectation
These are the words of dead direction
[Clubs for the storks
The vision is top of the clubs
Paddy McGinty`s goat]
I would like deep down
At the bottom of my odour, lingering, my heart and soul
To see the government wrecked
And my LPs roll
[The government`s right and my LPs wrong]



These are the words of success, expectation
These are the words of complete disorientation
Think of him I was in a fix
But I show you now get out of it
Looks like an AWOL predic.
But I`ll worm worm right out of it
I`m the head wrangler



Day will come and it won`t be long
When the roof of my mouth sticks to the tip of my tongue
I`m the head wrangler



The trials drawn out and long
When the cell door slams I won`t be the one
I`m the head wrangler



I`m proud of the way I`ve avoided prison
If we carry on like this we`re gonna end up like King Crimson
I`m the head wrangler



To please is a curse, and worse
At parties I`m bitter
Get presented
Am bitter - a civilian policeman
Five smiles - I`m bitter
Get presented
With the pence, the reckless pence
Go to aid Halifax copter
To please is the curse and nurse
To please is the curse at worst
I`m the head wrangler



Think of him I was in a fix
But I`ll show you now get out of it
Looks like an AWOL predicament
But I`ll worm my way right out of it
I`m the head wrangler



These are the words of dead direction



Wrap it up.
