This song was inspired by Andy Partridge’s divorce from his wife, Marianne:
I didn’t write it to hurt. I wrote it to alleviate this incredible backup of pus that was building up in my head. I was a cuckold husband twice over, and me being Mr. Loyal, that was really painful. The song came really qui...
Your Dictionary Lyrics
H-A-T-E, is that how you spell love in your dictionary?
K-I-C-K, pronounced as kind
F-U-C-K, is that how you spell friend in your dictionary?
Black on black, a guidebook for the blind
Well, now that I can see, my eyes won't weep
Now that I can hear, your song sounds cheap
Now that I can talk, all your corn I'll reap
I'm not so sure that Joey wed a virgin Mary
There are no words for me inside your dictionary
S-L-A-P, is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary?
C-O-L-D, pronounced as care
S-H-I-T, is that how you spelt me in your dictionary?
Four-eyed fool, you led 'round everywhere
Well, now that I can see, it's the queens new clothes
Now that I can hear all your poison prose
Now that I can talk with my tongue unfroze
I'm not so sure of Santa or the buck-tooth fairy
There are no words for me inside your dictionary
Now your laughter has a hollow ring
But the hollow ring has no finger in
So let's close the book and let the day begin
And our marriage be undone
