[00:23.74] Oh I'm back in the full effect / I can't even hold myself erect
[00:28.29] I got nothing that I wanna say / I'm gonna say it anyway
[00:33.22] I know you think that I've lost it, baby
[00:35.85] I know you think that my star is fading / Used to be a contender
[00:40.52] Now you're just a pretender / Psychic karaoke every weekend
[00:44.02] You don't fit those clothes anymore
[00:46.33] Why don't you take them back to the charity store
[00:49.13] While you're there you could always hand yourself in
[00:52.01] You're into green issues - start recycling
[00:53.94]
[00:55.15] You hide behind your woman when you're out in your town
[00:59.91] Show her up and blame her for holding you down
[01:02.47] Holding you down, holding you down
[01:03.91] You're the only one who's holding you down
[01:05.78] You're only ever polite when you're out of your box
[01:08.27] Cocker's short for... sucker / Sucker of... / Oh, oh
[01:17.88] La na na na / Oh, oh / Sucker of... / Oh, oh / La na na na
[01:30.61] Oh, oh / When I got up today I had that feeling again
[01:36.73] Everything was OK, then the world started shaking
[01:39.48] Now I'm trying to sleep it away / Oh but I can't sleep it away
[01:44.71] Can you answer this question, can you answer it right:
[01:47.52] Have you ever done anything good in your life?
[01:50.02] Have you ever done anything that wasn't just for yourself?
[01:52.58] Are you capable of giving? / Are you capable of giving just for the sake of it,
[01:57.38] without expecting anything in return?
[01:58.88]
[02:00.82] I'm only trying to give you what you've come to expect
[02:03.39] Just another song 'bout single mothers and sex
[02:06.06] Single mothers and sex, single mothers and sex
[02:08.44] Just another song 'bout single mothers and sex
[02:11.18] OK, you've heard it before, it's nothing special
[02:13.62] But it's a living, can't you see / I'm a professional
[02:17.51] Oh, oh / La na na na / Oh, oh / I'm a professional
[02:28.81] Oh, oh / La na na na / Oh, oh / Sleep on my darling
[02:44.60] Sleep on, don't wake as I leave / I've been rehearsing this scene so long now
[02:53.40] Don't interrupt me as I do it for real / The bedroom floor is treacherous
[03:01.19] A teacup could be disastrous / 'Cos it'll mean I would have to say
[03:07.63] What was written on the letter I posted yesterday
[03:10.43] So that it would get here / When I was gone / And you awoke
[03:22.43]
[03:30.73] Oh, she'll meet me from the train / And she'll never know a thing
[03:35.23] About how I talk with my mouth full / And only bath once a week
[03:39.04] How I'm nicer the first time you meet me than the next
[03:42.41] And I'm rapidly losing interest in sex / Yeah, I'm rapidly losing interest in sex
[03:52.59] What's the point in making it over-emotional? / You can do it the hard way
[03:57.58] Or you can be a professional / Oh, oh / La na na na
[04:06.69] Oh, oh / I'm a professional / Oh, oh / La na na na
[04:17.11] Oh, oh / Sleep on my darling / Sleep on my love / Sleep on my darling
[04:38.02] Sleep on my love / Sleep on my darling / Sleep on my love
[04:53.49] Sleep on my darling / Sleep on my love
[05:00.43]
