Kangaroo Died Lyrics
Well the doctor keeps me waiting
The blood in my brain
The pain in my chest
Oh Oh Oh
Only happens when it's rainin
The smoke in my lung
The beer in my gut
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
It's a nightmare in the alley
The undertaker's there
With his bowler hat
Oh Oh Oh
And his coffin eyes are empty
The ex-wife she's there too
Grinnin like a Cheshire cat
Oh Oh Oh
And I'm feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
I'm tryin to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know
Well the priest is at the pulpit
Tellin me I'm wrong
Tellin me I'm sickening
Oh Oh Oh
To believe him is to forfeit
Everything I am
And everything I'll never be
Oh Oh
So I'm feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
I'm tryin to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know
Always were the waters
Deep inside your heart
Always wanted to return
To your body
But I'm not sure I can
The blood in my brain
The pain in my chest
Oh Oh Oh
Only happens when it's rainin
The smoke in my lung
The beer in my gut
Oh Oh Oh
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
The undertaker's there
With his bowler hat
Oh Oh Oh
And his coffin eyes are empty
The ex-wife she's there too
Grinnin like a Cheshire cat
Oh Oh Oh
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know
Tellin me I'm wrong
Tellin me I'm sickening
Oh Oh Oh
To believe him is to forfeit
Everything I am
And everything I'll never be
Oh Oh
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know
Deep inside your heart
Always wanted to return
To your body
But I'm not sure I can

Am I really the first to write something about this nice song? Oh well, I love it's old appearance and the melody is catchy.
I'm tryin to buy a drink But the barmaid's cross-eyed Why'd they let her work here Hell I just don't know
cracks me up everytime
I can't believe that there are not more people who said something to this awesome song! it find it so damn great! the way brian sings it and all... just listen to it if you dont know it yet.
so sweet.
I love this song. This and Then The Clouds Will Open Up For Me. Is the only version of this song a poor quality version, with a fussiness about it? Oh oh oh
i have this in shit-poor quality, whats yours like?
this song is a demo, which is why the only version is one with a shitty quality
this song is such a hidden gem. couldn't tell you what the hell it is supposed to mean, possibly Brian couldn't either? It seems very tongue in cheek random. Amazing nontheless.
i love this song- the part about the kangaroo made me smile (...not too sure why...), i agree with the comment above me; tounge in cheek is the best way to describe it. I really think the verse about listening to the priest in the pulpit stands out the most though; those few lines are by far some of my favourite lyrcis of all time...and the poor quality only adds to it dont u think? Makes it even sweeter i guess.
it's one of their drunkest, meaningless songs, but still, one of the most honest :) the priest line is amazing, and it all makes me think of bob dylan and fiive years, by bowie.
