Trouble In The Message Centre
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am the message centre
Local and direct
Room to room an operator
(No calls today, they'll just have to wait dear)
I call and I collect
(So just strike him softly away from the body)
You're made up too shiny today (In so much trouble)
Your thoughts are just pissing away (In so much trouble)
So much trouble
I am a manager
I am in control
As the local delegator
(No calls today dear, they'll just have to wait dear)
I offer no guarantee at all
(So don't take it lightly, you'll put yourself under)
You're made up too shiny today (In so much trouble)
Your thoughts are just pissing away (In so much trouble)
A new typeface, a new day (In so much trouble)
You can't remember ten minutes ago (In so much trouble)
Too much trouble
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
(You'll put yourself under)
You're made up too shiny today (In so much trouble)
Your thoughts are just pissing away (In so much trouble)
A new typeface, a new day (In so much trouble)
You can't remember ten minutes ago (In so much trouble)
Just too much trouble
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
