So go on, get yourself zapped
Feel the electricity
Coursing through your veins
That rush the zap will bring you
The highs that you will feel

But then the zap runs out
The feeling runs cold
And all your left with is reality
Of what you just did
And how you did it
Every time you swear it's the last
But it never is
So on and on it goes

So on and on it goes,
life is just sunshine and rainbows.
You wake up every day
on a bed of hay,
but that's okay.

You go to work for a measly pittance,
though you long to tell your boss "good riddance!"
So, you work, you live, it's a never-ending cycle
and at the end of it all, your body the earth will recycle.

So live your life and live it well,
have your own standards, even if it is living in a shell.
Nobody can tell you what to do,
I mean look at that old lady, she lived in a shoe!

If anyone tells you you're living wrong,
just offer them a hit of your bong.
In the end, it's about the journey,
even if that is just from Glasgow to Kilbirnie.

Live, love, forgive and forget,
go ahead, buy a pet!
Let yourself be happy,
even when life is crappy,
there's always hope.
Don't be such a mope!

Don't be such a mope,
Even if your hair's a disaster
You'll comb it and cope.

Don't be such a gnome,
Whimper and whine,
Claiming you haven't a home.

A home you do have
It's yours,
Yours alone

With your cat on your lap,
Your hair in a comb,
Don't whine and complain,

You're safe in your home.

You're safe in your home,
you great, giant gnome.
A house under ground,
is where you'll be found.

Along with the fishes,
no, wait, that's underwater,
just like a cute wee otter,
but with dishes.

I've run out of steam,
so I'll just drink Jim Beam,
and ponder, oh, gnome, your wonderful colour scheme.
I want a bean.

I guess that is what I mean.
Or maybe I need some sleep.
Kind of need to weep.
Let's face it, I am tired.
And sleep is required.

It is ridiculous actually that
Any guy would play a pinball game and win
All at the drop of one's very own hard hat.

But to tell the truth, there is indeed no sin
In giving someone else the chance to play and
And that name to others in the loser's bin.

But I know the one thing I could never stand
Would be for someone else to win on that game
And in my opinion, that is so not grand.

All I wanted was to have my exact name
Known for greatness and not for one's total shame.

Known for greatness and not for one's total shame.
That of a hero, prophecy does say.
A man who doesn't fight for just wealth and fame.
The one that will show up someday.

But until then we will sit and wait.
Until that prophecy comes true.

Our graves are in sight unless we reform,
like ham, but that's already rather grave.
So what do we do to save our bacon?
Rise up, fight the power!
Fight hate with love, and give nasty people,
one giant shove!

One giant shove would send that O.J.
Simpson back to his prison cell
Sooner or later because
He still is a threat to
Those around him and
That is because
Of the death
Of poor

Do not start again,
or I'll stab you with a pen
and dump your body in the Thames.

Violent thoughts?
Perish the thought!
I've just lost the plot,
the plot of what?
I do not know, not a jot!

So, don't make me mad
because I'm already insane,
you hear me?

Am outta here
Didn't even know I was in

Before I go
I'll grab your chin
Give it a tug
It stretches your mug

Makes you look so comic
I'll give you a hug

Bed.
Not just a place to lay one's head.
A place to rest
A place to think
A place to dream
Enjoy a drink
For love
For fun
For sleep
For one... or two
Watch a film
Read a book
Play a game
Or simply look
Into each others eyes
Until the first one sighs

Lips together, another single taste
Palliative to the lonely soul

Apart they long for another touch
Together they refresh their union

Where we come to play
Where I wait for your return
There you are! So happy to see you
You're my friend, you are funny
You always make me smile
I will make some popcorn
So we can share
Waiting.
