When I Was a Kid

When I was a kid
I finished what I did
I screwed down the lid and
Then I went and hid in an
Eiderdown

As soon as I was born
About the hour of dawn
My father took a horn and
Chased me down the lawn in a
Dressing gown

Ain't it strange how people get older
They waddle and drool and eventually molder
They molder away
There's nothing I can do for you darling

When I was a lad
I never had a dad
Just an elder brother
Who got married to my mother in a
Thunderstorm

By the time that I was four
I knew what I was for
I bolted up the door and
Made damn sure I
Never came down

I swear I could murder that guy
Though I smile at him when he passes by
He turned me into an Englishman
He, turned me into a . .

When I was a kid
I hated what I did
I strangled all my relatives
Heaven is an elephant
Not the same

By the time that I was three
I decided to be me
I'm trying to remember
That evening in December when the
Angel came

Or there go headless torso
Moves me and even more so
Scarlet groove

Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go and start a family
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go!
