Receptacle For The Respectable
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.
It took a long time for me to get over
Your incredible ways
And now I'm minded to wipe out the memory
Of the way you behave
Yes as a receptacle
For the respectable
I took some time out to study your actions
Of how painted towns red
And if my worst fears came to fruition
I'm sure you'd leave us all dead
I was so gullible
And now I'm cynical
Ba ba ba ba ba
We're all susceptible
To the incredible
Tell me, tell me, tell me again
Cos it's very inane
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever
Tell me, tell me, explain again
Cos it's very inane
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever
Tell me, tell me, tell me again
Cos it's very inane
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever
Tell me, tell me, explain again
Cos it's very inane
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever
Welcome as a storm cloud in the late December gloom
Subtle as a nail bomb in the head
You came to me in peace and left me in pieces
Woo woo woo woo
Receptacle for the respectable
Receptacle for the respectable...
