lyrics

They’ve got peacocks in the garden
They’ve got canapés in the foyer
Filled with chilli beans and soya
It’s a sheepdogs paranoia

A world completely paranormal
Like a psychedelic football match
With Hendrix between the sticks
Ginger Baker at the back

It’s a pseudo hippy love shack
Full of students and their rich dads
They’ve been fiddling the application forms
To get grants for their little shit-bags

That 2:2 in media
Well it just aint gonna feed ya
I mean where’s it gonna lead ya
In your high society?

It’s a false reality
But we watch it on TV
There you are clocking every move
And pointless word of those who crave I.D.

Box me in
I’d rather be a singer than a poet
Box me in
I’d rather be a singer than a poet
I’d rather be a singer than a poet

They’ve got patches in the carpet
From intensive yogalatis
Like the fruit and water diet
I bet you wish you’d never started

But it will get them in the end
Like the cheques they never send
Cos it drives you to a bender
Cos you feel like an offender

But you think you look like Jordan
With the mind of a parking warden
It’s the blend that is important
In this harsh reality

But you see them on TV
And you see them in the paper
You’ve got to move the elevator
Up or down it’s gonna break ya

But your prospects could expand
When you grease some brother hand
So you fiddle up the application forms
But the folks they just don’t give a damn

Box me in
I’d rather be a singer than a poet
Box me in
I’d rather be a singer than a poet
I’d rather be a singer than a poet

I’d rather be a singer than a…poet
