john grant – grey tickles, black pressure lyrics
[verse 1]
i did not think i was
the one being addressed
in hemorrhoid commercials
on the tv set
i often stand and stare
at nothing in the grocery store
because i do not know
what to buy to eat any more
[verse 2]
and parapraxis is
the order of the day
i never heard that word
until tonight i have to say
and i’m supposed to believe that there’s some guy
who will take the pain away
[pre-chorus]
and there are children who have cancer
and so all bets are off
cause i can’t compete with that
so all bets are off
cause i can’t compete with that
[chorus]
i’ve got grey tickles and black pressure
and i’d rather lose my arm inside of a corn thresher
just like uncle paul
just like uncle paul
i, i, i
[verse 3]
they won’t be happy til
they tear down everything
which looks remotely cool
or is older than two weeks
you must be kidding me
except i do know better than to ask
[verse 4]
i can’t believe i missed
new york during the 70’s
i could have gotten a head start
in the world of disease
i’m sure i would have contracted
every single solitary thing
[pre-chorus]
they say let go let go let go
you must learn to let go
if i hear that f-cking phrase again
this baby’s gonna blow
into a million itsy bitsy tiny pieces
don’t you know
just like my favorite scene in scanners
apparently there was an outcry of some sort today
which no-one heard incidentally and by the way
i have not had the strength
to leave my place in days or weeks
and i’ll never understand
whats happening in the middle east
[pre-chorus]
[chorus] x2
