Lyrics

Guilty Cocker Spaniels

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.

Well I took off running at the greatest speed.

I didn't bother lookin' to either side of me.

Oh I did not see I just didn't see what was really going on.

The trees had stopped an the skyline rose,

Exchanging comfort for the more fashionable clothes.

I'd left the hills at this point in time

To run on treadmills in a perfect line.

Salad days add up to daily shit,

Sparking imagination 'til the sparks just quit,

And if this is fun why'm I so bored with it,

Why I'll probably never know.

Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps,

When we rolled over how out master clapped,

It felt so good, we wanted more of that,

When the program failed they defensively laughed saying'

"We did things just how you asked, don't try taking us to task.

You didn't bite a face, no just a mask.

So HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"

I drew a blank we put it in a frame,

Wait what you're winning, you didn't say this was a game

Well, I guess I'll just have to play and play until I am outta cash.

Before I could spit it out I guess the words had burnt my mouth what can I say?

Best of all I laid it down so you could take it out of context either way.

We said all along we deserved every bit

And mostly we knew that the supply would quit,

But we got going and going and just went with it

'Til everyone lost their minds.

Directly behind being ahead of the times

But don't you worry it'll fall right in line.

Yup, everything's just fine, fine, fine.

No one's getting blamed this time.

Blameless oh Blameless can we find a way to blame out way out.

Well, I postdated the eulogy for every blameless body now now.

We are blamelessly teething on much more than we need now. Now Now.

Blamelessly teething.

Well we're all getting blamed 'cause everyone, every one knew.

While everyone, every one knew.

Everybody, every body knew.
