You Again

The Nude Scientists: songs going gently into that dark night


You Again

Talk to the hand,
The face ain't listening,
It's weeping now and really pissing,
Off my wife, initiating divorces,
Take it outside, it's scaring the horses,
It's cracked ans cratered like a lunar landscape,
A bye-bye to good times like a golden handshake,
It fosters regret and self-disgust,
A salve to succour; an antidote to lust,

Oh why am I so ugly,

Oh no, not you again,
Every time I shave,
It's that paragon of men (old, old and in the way),
Just behave won't you,

The rheumy eyes no longer sparkle,
Want a reason to smile but I've got fuck all,
The stippled jowels,the complexion soapy,
Got more crows feet than a hokey-cokey,
Where once I bathed in the dew of youth,
Now I'm downing 60 proof,
I'm short on temper and long on tooth,
With a dirty basement and a snowy roof,

Oh why am I so ugly,

Oh no, not you again,
Every time I shave,
It's that paragon of men (old, old and in the way),
Just behave won't you,
