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.
How can I? How can I? How can I?
Get up, make a buck
Get up, make a buck
My race was bred on hash
My race was bred on hash
Get up, make a buck,
Get up, make a buck.
The stolen dark
Please don't [muffled].
What you need [band]
How can I?
What you need [band]
How can I?
What you need [band]
What you need [band]
Turn down a corner I
Been bleeding some itch
What you need [band]
How can I?
What you need [band]
What you need [MES]
What you need [MES and band]
An oven mitt
What you need for your verbose kitchen
What you need [MES and band]
Present notebook for you
What you need [MES and band]
A bit of Iggy Stooge.
What you need [MES and band]
Whay you need [MES and band]
Reduced smoking habit
What you need [MES and band]
Sex but not having it
What you need [MES]
One face
Two face new
What you need [band]
Slippery shoes for your horrible feet
We're obsessed with [MES and band]
What you need [MES]
What you need is to love her so much
What you need is us as pressure group
Out of reach
What you need [band]
On this we're all agreed
What you need [MES and band]
One: Face with girl past
What you need
Two: a profile that is low-key
And to meet your horrible new dad
With a grudge against me
What you need [MES and band]
What you need [band]
Is a censor for pals like these.
What you need [MES and band]
What you need [band]
What you need [MES and band]
What you need is
One. What face?
Two: face new
Three. Face mag for arse
Four. Three rules of audience
Five. Mug of Geoff Travis, framed
Six. The book Theft is Vision by the brothers
Copeland.
What you need [MES]
Finance luck
What you need [band]
What you need [MES]
Out of reach
What you need [band]
What you need [MES]
What you need [MES]
What you need [band]
Get up, make a buck
What you need [band]
How can I?
What you need [band]
How can I?
What you need [band]
How can I?
