Watch That Grandad Go

Lyrics

I'm sitting tight
 I'm holding still
 The flowers bite
 The cobweb's still
 We walk in file
 We stand in line
 The drug is in
 And we [did not]
 Since you've been so lonely
 Pain will cease to tease you
 Scars may not be ugly
 A doll's leg fits around you
 Why is everybody burning sky
 Misfit plug and chicken pie
 Walk in file and dance in line
 Straightedge tango sequins shine
 The ground is steady
 The stiff is stiff
 The cobweb's torn
 The tide is tired
 You're so alone
 You're so awake
 You wish you'd never been awake
 The knock goes off and the knock goes out
 The city spills
 There's a [lover who screams]
 The sickness fills
 When the night gets tough
 You wish you'd never been so so so skinny
 (walk in line dance in file)
 Sicking all night and working all day
 Spin with fright when you're finding no way
 And the drums get dark in night or day
 Sicking all night and working all day
 See my grandad go...
 (walk in line dance in file)
 Walk and dance in single file
 Right up to the bread in here
 Couldn't find the bread in there
 We couldn't find the bread
 And we couldn't find the heart
 And we worked so hard
 We worked so heartbeat
 If I look up there
 If I look a fool
 If I look up there
 If I look a fool
 Jack went up the
 Jack came down the
 Jack and Jill
 Went up the hill
 Jack came flying down the still
 Jack what're you doing Jack?
 I don't know - I'm back!
 Oh no!
 I told you not to put on those trousers
 Don't put on the trousers, don't put on the trousers
 Your dress is too starched
 It's too starched
 You got a high class face today
 You ought to have used nailpolish
 Lights out fast and sleep at night
 Lights out fast and sleep at night
 Turn the light out
 Get into bed
 Cover yourself up
 Your head
 Your head
 Your head
 Your head!
