Jerks of Attention (triple j Live at the Wireless, 1997)

[Intro]
And this next song is called Jerks of Attention
It's already been released as a single
It was our first single
Goes a little bit like this

[Verse 1]
There is no pain, my body's drained
I never should have had that fourth slice straight
We gathered round the lost and found
But my jerks of attention let me down

[Pre-Chorus]
I took the first one
And I pulled it back
And what was once green
Had all turned black, it all turned black
And there was nothing left to say

[Chorus]
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
And what you see inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted
Wasted

[Verse 2]
I'm gettin' there, my constant stare
And I don't think I'll move from this chair
We've got them both, Archers of Loaf
And the Stone Roses in the stereo-wow-ow-ow

[Pre-Chorus]
I took the first one
And I pulled it back
And what was once green
Had all turned black, it all turned black
And there was nothin' left to say

[Chorus]
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
And what you see inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
And what you see inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted

[Bridge]
Wasted, wasted
Wasted, wasted
Oh

[Chorus]
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
And what you see inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted

[Outro]
I don't want to be straight
Don't want to be straight
And I don't want to be
Wasted, wasted, wasted, wa-wasted, down

[Spoken]
That was Jerks of Attention
We were Jebediah
And that was a nice sip of water
