“Bad Shave” was originally included on the Baby Bird album Bad Shave, which was released in 1995. A different version of the song, sometimes referred to as “Bad Shave 2”, was later included on the band’s 1996 album Ugly Beautiful.
It's time to come down from your spire
Jesus come back, you're a liar
I'll cover the church in fish wire
We'll know you're here, like hellfire
Like hell fire
If we hear a trip in the aisle
Turn on the lights with a big smile
There's no beautiful child
It's tealeaves with the roof tiles
Tealeaves with the roof tiles
We go on home with the radio on
Tune into paradise on the long wave
For a millionth time a born again song
Rings out like a bad shave
It's time to come down from your spire
Jesus come back, you're a liar
I've covered the church in fish wire
I'll know you're here, like hellfire
Hell fire
Bad Shave was written by Stephen Jones.
