lyrics

LYRICS :

I could French kiss a porcupine
Stick my hand into a fire
I could have a migraine
An abscess caused by tooth decay

But I don’t want to visit mum and dad
They’ll just make me feel bad

I could stand in a cue
Eat a mouldy sag aloo
I could lower my genitals
Into the erupting Popocatépetl

But I don’t want to visit mum and dad
They’ll just make me feel bad

I could read the NME
Watch reality tv
Wear fake tan and wax my chest

But I don’t want to visit mum and dad
They’ll just make me feel bad

Into the erupting Popocatépetl
