Adhesive

[Originally by Billy Bragg]
Ive always been impressed with a girl
Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
Thats the way I am
heaven help me
He said we dont like peace campaigners round here
As he nailed another one to the wall
And thats what gets me in trouble
heaven help me
Goodbye and good luck
To all the promises youve broken
Goodbye and good luck
To all the rubbish that youve spoken
Your life has lost its dignity
Its beauty and its passion
Youre an accident waiting to happen
There you are standing at the bar
And youre giving me grief about the DDR
And that chip on your shoulder get bigger as you get older
One of these nights youre gonna get caught
Itll give you a pregnant pause for thought
Youre a dedicated swallower of fascism
Time up and time out
For all the liberties youve taken
Time up and time out
For all the friends that youve forsaken
If you chose to waste away
Like death is back in fashion
Youre an accident waiting to happen
My sins are so unoriginal
I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheeps clothing
In this carnival of carnivores
heaven help me
