The Gutterati? Lyrics
Well I was chasing down flies and shooting up women
Trying to get the whole thing straight in my head
Lookin for a girl who’d come with me swimming
And come and play tunes at the end of my bed
And all the hardmen were drinkin down petrol
Bamming up the girls when in came the law
Heading for the door and getting tongue tied
When they asked me what exactly I saw
So I’ll get some Monte Christo’s
And we can all go see the band
Well I may not be a looker yeah
But I’ll help you any way I can
Back at my room I was making me nervous
Watching TV and picking my feet
Wishing I was pretty and burning my shoes
And wishing for once I’d kept the receipt
I called myself and wondered out loud
Tried to get the whole thing straight in my head
I left the tape running and played it back
Twice but I couldn’t make sense of what I had said
So I’ll get some Monte Christo’s
And we can all go see the band
Well I may not be a looker yeah
But I’ll help you any way I can
Well it may not make you handsome
And it may not even make you feel aliiiiiiive
You may not have the ransom
But you can always count on this
It’s him and them and she and me
And sick and muddy, everybody
So you can bring your wasters banjo
Bring yer sister and her friend Diane
Well I may not have a big boys pistol
But I’ll help them any way I can
And you can call me Cinderella!
You can make me your best man
Well you may be a right old queen
But I’ll help you any way I can
Trying to get the whole thing straight in my head
Lookin for a girl who’d come with me swimming
And come and play tunes at the end of my bed
Bamming up the girls when in came the law
Heading for the door and getting tongue tied
When they asked me what exactly I saw
And we can all go see the band
Well I may not be a looker yeah
But I’ll help you any way I can
Watching TV and picking my feet
Wishing I was pretty and burning my shoes
And wishing for once I’d kept the receipt
Tried to get the whole thing straight in my head
I left the tape running and played it back
Twice but I couldn’t make sense of what I had said
And we can all go see the band
Well I may not be a looker yeah
But I’ll help you any way I can
And it may not even make you feel aliiiiiiive
You may not have the ransom
But you can always count on this
It’s him and them and she and me
And sick and muddy, everybody
Bring yer sister and her friend Diane
Well I may not have a big boys pistol
But I’ll help them any way I can
You can make me your best man
Well you may be a right old queen
But I’ll help you any way I can

Man, I love this song... it's so raw, simple no-nonsense pub-rock, and they sound like they're just loving every second. I think this should have been on the album, even though it's such a simple song.
Why is this not on the album?!?!
'It’s him and them and she and me And sick and muddy, everybody!'
YAAY this song makes me wanna jump and sing and scream and laugh and then listen to it once more
...I hate your fucking lyrics. laughs
BRILLIANT.
I wanna party all night to this song. And jump and sing really loudly. And off-key.
"Call me Cinderella!" Best part... haha I love this CD. :P
Does anyone have any idea what this means? I love the song, but the lyrics... um?

Sooo this is basically one of my favorites off the album. (Are you guys UK, 'cause the US version has this on it). It makes me want to jump up and down and run around screaming. I can't understand half the words, but that's part of why it's so amazing. Just raw energy! The "I hate your fucking lyrics" bit kills me ever time. And the "call me Cinderella" part is great, too.
As for what it's about... looks like he's high out of his mind. Any more than that... no clue.
"Well you may be a right old queen, but I'll help you any way I can!" Loveeee it!
