Pulp - Aborigine Lyrics
Starts so slowly, just a place to staySomewhere warm where they can spend their daysAir is stagnant and he feels uncleanHair hangs greasy and he smells obsceneSomethings happened and its not so goodBroken bottles in the face of loveMottled flesh under the harsh strip-lightNylon sheets to keep them warm at nightOnce its started it can never stopFills his head with a dark damp fogIn the distance is a constant cry growing louder as the years go byDays get longer and he starts to drinkSpews his stomach in the kitchen sinkTells his children they should have respectTells his wife that shes a nervous wreckHe hates his wife and he hates them allHe hates his wife and he hates them allCant be bothered when its all the same leave it long enough, it goes awayIn the meantime stomach turns to fatShe tries to tell him but he cant have thatShes only jealous and shes telling liesStanding ***** in his flesh disguiseIt took him months to get her into bed, now hes got her he just wants her deadShe wants excitement and she needs romance, all she gets are dirty underpantsStupid animal that cant know why somethings wrong so someone has to dieThe wind is blowing and the rain falls downSends his family on a trip down townSees them die in a burning wreckSees them burn, smokes a cigaretteHe hates his wife and he hates them allHe hates his wife and he hates them allHe knows hes finished but he cant stop nowAnd he wants to end it but he cant see howAnd its all in pieces, thrown it all awayOh, but hes not ugly, he just looks that wayAnd he wants some quiet and he needs it nowBut the scream hes starteds getting far too loudAnd he still pretends he does it just for nowHis day will come hell lose it all somehowKilling time until his ship arrivesBeen dead ten years but hes still alive and the time is wasted and the ship has sunkBut he hasnt noticed and he comes home drunkAnd hes just dead weight, hell never leave the groundHe tries to stand but he keeps falling down and its hard to know he doesnt count forMuchHes not a has-been, just a never-wasOh he hates his wife and he hates them allHe hates his wife and he hates them allHates his wifeHates them all.
