lyrics
Suitcase awaits the bass
Make haste chase the race
Great tasting waste of space
Six seven eight Nine ten Jack queen king ace
Donate your favourite plate
Locate nitrate
Set stage to engage
Mondays will rotate and gyrate
Contemplate orchestrate
Ovulate or gestate
Don't die intestate
Leave your best mate
Your garden gate
In the abstract you take a musical sketch
And incorporate a lot of meaningless text
Syllables are malleable
They are immensely valuable
They cannot be held fallible
If they are unpronounceable
Suitcase awaits the bass
Brush with Colgate toothpaste
Subliminal advertising makes mistakes
When it isn't really hidden you can see through the frames
Erase your database
Confess face to face
You were seen sipping a daiquiri near a factory in Napoli when you were supposed to be back from your lunch break
Bake a potato cake
Serve it with mayonnaise
Or make me an aeoli if you really want to show me that you know me and you also think that garlic is great
Drink to intoxicate
Posh girl on second date
Cocktails then oxtail soup wearing fox fur on park lane
Make haste chase the race
Great tasting waste of space
Six seven eight Nine ten Jack queen king ace
Donate your favourite plate
Locate nitrate
Set stage to engage
Mondays will rotate and gyrate
Contemplate orchestrate
Ovulate or gestate
Don't die intestate
Leave your best mate
Your garden gate
In the abstract you take a musical sketch
And incorporate a lot of meaningless text
Syllables are malleable
They are immensely valuable
They cannot be held fallible
If they are unpronounceable
Suitcase awaits the bass
Brush with Colgate toothpaste
Subliminal advertising makes mistakes
When it isn't really hidden you can see through the frames
Erase your database
Confess face to face
You were seen sipping a daiquiri near a factory in Napoli when you were supposed to be back from your lunch break
Bake a potato cake
Serve it with mayonnaise
Or make me an aeoli if you really want to show me that you know me and you also think that garlic is great
Drink to intoxicate
Posh girl on second date
Cocktails then oxtail soup wearing fox fur on park lane
