Lyrics

[00:32.850] Mavis couldn't quite make it on Saturday
[00:35.540] Berryl was stuck on the tube from Victoria
[00:39.170] Cheryl and the rest had all found new boyfriends
[00:41.970] The only one left was the one in his head
[00:45.550] So he busies himself, quite amusing himself, by abusing himself
[00:51.860] All of his life he had wanted one true love
[00:55.560] One girl he could worship all day out all night in
[00:58.250] Alas all the girls he had met in his short life
[01:01.060] Were girls who always quite looked like his dad's wife
[01:04.620] So he busied himself, quite amusing himself, by abusing himself
[01:15.590] Oh dear what a pity, a pity, what a shame, oh what a shame
[01:28.230] Girls on glossy paper, never quite the same, not quite the same
[01:38.250] Always saying sorry, never quite the same, not quite the same
[02:37.150] Sitting one evening wrapped up in TV
[02:40.880] His doggy insists that he must find a tree so he
[02:44.430] Puts on his coat and he searches around for a
[02:47.120] Platinum lighter he dropped on the ground and he
[02:50.740] Bruises himself, where he uses himself, for abusing himself
[02:57.100] Out in the park he was walking his doggy
[02:59.880] He saw a young lady who made him feel soggy
[03:03.470] He spoke to her softly, she made not a sound then
[03:06.220] He realized that his match he had found,
[03:09.830] She was losing herself, quite amusing herself, by abusing herself
[03:25.320]
