Touch Sensitive Lyrics
Hey Hey Hey …
Hey Hey Hey …
I know, I know, I know …
In the cars or on the street
If you smile you are a creep
If you don’t say it’s very cold
You are drunk or too old
They say what about the meek?
I say they’ve got a bloody cheek
Vanity and presumption [?]
Living in the hard porn shop lately
I say Hey hey hey
Touch Sensitive
I know, I know, I know …
And you’re dying for a pee
So you go behind a tree
And a Star Wars police vehicle pulls up
I say gimme a taxi
Touch Sensitive
Touch Sensitive
If you don’t say it’s very cold
You are drunk or too old
It's Touch Sensitive
In the cars or on the street
If you smile you are a creep
It’s Touch Sensitive
If you don’t say it’s very cold
You are Touch Sensitive
Touch Sensitive
Say Hey Hey Hey
I know, I know, I know…
I know, I know, I know …
If you smile you are a creep
If you don’t say it’s very cold
You are drunk or too old
I say they’ve got a bloody cheek
Vanity and presumption [?]
I say Hey hey hey
Touch Sensitive
So you go behind a tree
And a Star Wars police vehicle pulls up
I say gimme a taxi
Touch Sensitive
You are drunk or too old
It's Touch Sensitive
If you smile you are a creep
It’s Touch Sensitive
You are Touch Sensitive
Say Hey Hey Hey

Superb pop-punky-indie-whatever anthem. Like the rising of a phoenix after the murky, slurred, confused stuff they (well MES...) put out during the 90s. As good as anything they did harking back to "Totally Wired".
I hear it as an autobiographical rant about getting old, getting drunk and not giving a shit about being slagged off, put down or "being nice" for the sake of some PR. The man who wrote these lyrics has never sold out. Don't think I'd ever want to meet Mark E Smith but I know I'll always watch out for the next Fall album...
