Loving Up The Thing - Shriekback

I got no kind of plan

Like Hiawatha in a waffle van

I get it while i can

I’m loving up the thing

I got too tired to pray

Not turning out too clever anyway

I’ll see you later in the loading bay

I’m loving up the thing

Pluto’s my rising sign

Got nothing looking like a grand design

The cheerleaders are looking fine

I’m loving up the thing

It’s new improved despair

And my placebo’s gonna get me there

Gonna lie and cry and tease the bear

I’m loving up the thing

And it’s the end the bitter end

And everyone is crazy so we blend

All the goalposts moving all the angels sing

«We're loving up the thing»

«Guilt is it’s own reward»

Said the martyred angel to the pleasure lord

«It's pretty much across the board

Start loving up the thing»

Those guys that we employ

The action figures and the whipping boys

Homunculii surprised by joy

They’re loving up the thing

And now the rain, the bloody rain

And I just feel I have a duty to explain

While I can’t make any sense of anything

I’m loving up the thing

I’ll be your reptile in your shower

(Check the wiring, I’m inquiring where it all went wrong)

The indicators tell me sooner or later there’s a song

(Everybody know the band plays on)

Me and my ecstasies

The feelgood factor is affecting me

I’ve found the eusocial insect in me

I’m loving up the thing

Live at the abattoir

I know how squalid the conditions are

But its so good twanging on this cheap guitar

I’m loving up the thing

You feel the rays, I count the ways

It’s not important that we’ve both seen better days

All the claxons howling

Death where is thy sting?

I’m loving up the thing

All rise, the day is mine

Recalibration time

Here’s to a life of crime

I’m loving up, I’m loving up the thing

Thus goes my open letter

So many things could be better

But I’m a born again go-getter

I’m loving up, I’m loving up the thing

In the time it takes to pack

I’m there and on the way back

Gonna cut myself some slack

I’m loving up, I’m loving up the thing
