Cheap and Cheerful
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'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're borin' baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're stupid baby when you're sane
I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp-tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that illegal meat
'Coz love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got the same needs as a dog
It's alright (it's alright) to be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright) to be mean (to be mean)
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're borin' baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're stupid baby when you're sane
It's alright (it's alright) to be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright) to be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright) to be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright) to be mean (to be mean)
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're borin' baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're stupid baby when you're sane
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're borin' baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy 'coz you're stupid baby when you're sane
