Surgeon's Girl Lyrics
Sitting in a surgeon's world,
as sturgeons will,
a surgeon's girl with me.
Standing on a river bed,
where weeds can be,
I'm on my knee,
to you.
I've seen in glossy mags,
I've seen you and you see me (rpt. to infinite possibilities).
Said you weren't a tuna fish,
put in a tin,
they're very big,
Ha Ha.
I've seen in glossy mags,
I've seen you and you see me (rpt. to infinite possibilities).
as sturgeons will,
a surgeon's girl with me.
where weeds can be,
I'm on my knee,
to you.
I've seen you and you see me (rpt. to infinite possibilities).
put in a tin,
they're very big,
Ha Ha.
I've seen you and you see me (rpt. to infinite possibilities).
Like "Brazil", a swipe at juvenile romance, here leaning towards the element of fantasy and celebrity obsession, namely of dating a glossy, somewhat manufactured (like canned tuna!) person, be they created by media or imagination. The jabber of the chorus only adds to the "what a moron our protagonist is" subtext. Snotty in the best way possible.
P.S. The production is wonderfully bizarre, in particular the layered shouts and off-kilter echo-slathered toms. The live version on The Scottish Play is unrecognisable, yet still brilliant.
