Reuben Album

Soft little body
Swollen by the sun
Waiting for the break
That he knows will never come
Four brittle limbs
Weak from under-use
And a head full of words

Long green hair
Funny looking dude
Big mouth on him
And a wicked attitude
And at first impression
He must seem kind of rude
But he does his best, yeah?

And anyway...

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue

I want to be just like you
In all I do

Jimmy got drunk
On his way to class
Swinging from the roof
Showed everyone his ass
And if you ask him why
He shakes his head and laughs
"There was nothing for it"

Stacy got laid
Boyfriend number one!
Took him to her room
And had a little fun
She's wearing out her voice
Telling everyone
And you can't ignore it

And anyway...

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

Really cool tattoo...

It's only 'cos I like you
You are everything I wish I could be
And maybe if I'm like you
Baby would you like me?

You're dressed
Like a Victorian at a swimming pool
You're dressed
Like a deadly lethal ninja assassin
All in black

I want to be just like you...

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

I made you Trent Reznor
Spinning on his back
With a motorised action
You made me
A red and black scarf
I wear it round my neck
But no motorised action

No motorised action...

TV's screwed again
And I'm already bored
In this age of goldfish consciousness
And rock star Gods

How will you react,
Do I blaspheme
If I said
I killed Kurt Cobain

You still wear the face
Of a guy you never knew
Where were all your fucking shirts
When Dobbs and Straight went down
I don't see them out
You're bored again

I killed Kurt Cobain...
We all killed Kurt Cobain

And I'm bored
And when I get bored
I go fucking ape-shit
I beat up on walls
And I fucking hate it

I hate it...

Crack of dawn, every morn, whacking on the tea and then
On my feet in choking heat, back in bed, start again

Working my hands down to the bone in this town
The weight of the world is dragging me all the way down

Twenty years, big ideas and all I've got to show is this
A dead end life, a drunken wife, and all my friends are taking the piss
Man I'm tired, boy I'm tired, I'm a model citizen
Work until the morning then we go to bed and start again!

Working my hands down to the bone in this town
The weight of the world is dragging me all the way down
Where is the girl I was to build my home round?
The weight of the world is dragging me all the way down

It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart

It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
