Shit arm, bad tattoo
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 could have put my head in a bucket full of porridge and moaned about the hospital parking sheme.
I would have saved '14, that I just splashed out on your second album.
Cause thats what its a kin to, and further more...
You've got a shit arm, and thats a bad tattoo (x 2)
If your going to quote from the book of revelation, don't go calling it the book of revelations,
theres no 'S' its the book of revelation as revealed by St John the Divine.
See also Mary Hopkin, she must dispair
You've got a shit arm, and thats a bad tatoo (x 2)
I went in the high street, I point and sing...
busk when it's christmas,
you only busk when it's christmas
You've got a shit arm, and thats a bad tattoo (x 2)
Shit arm, Bad tattoo ( x 7)
Well you got a shit arm.... and thats a bad tattoo
