Lyrics
This Be The Verse
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.
They f**k you up, your mum and dad
They may not mean to but they do
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you
But they were f**ked up in their turn
By fools in old style hats and coats
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one anothers throats
Man hands on misery to man
It deepens like a coastal shelf
Get out as early as you can
And don't have any kids yourself
