Letra Fat Rheostatics

Fat

When we were kids, we ran like Interpol,
I killed a copper with a puck of coal,
I put a rock through a saint,
made a stained-glass hole,

Back of the class, we giggled, sniffing rush,
Best of friends, we rode the Islington bus,
Your gum was sweet, but the chewing was tough,
I got drunk, I threw up on gin I mixed with orange stuff,

This dream we call familiar,
Is like death in golden wraps,
Now if that's true,
(It's true)
And we both know that,
(It's true)
I'm sorry if I said you were?

Bye, bye, Mister No-one,
Bye, bye, Mister Woebegone,

I cracked my head when I fell from the highest rung,
Two poster children wigging blue-green tongues,
I drank pop, ate Pez, laid down and played dumb,
(Sounds of teens, heckling)

I crashed through a snow fence, some stitches were sewn,
Your face was a window, I crawled from my home,
My life was yours, your blood was my own,
(Sounds of teens, heckling)
I don't know what I would've done if you never ever left me alone,
(Sounds of teens, heckling)

This dream they call familiar,
Is like death in golden wraps,
Now if that's true,
(It's true)
And we both know that,
(It's true)
I'm sorry if I said you were fat,
And I know you still don't like me for that,

Bye, bye, Mister No-One,
Bye, bye, Mister Woebegone,
Bye, bye, Mister No-one,
Bye, bye, Mister Woebegone,

Hey, I don't even know, (I don't even know), who you are,
I don't even know, (I don't even know), who you are,
I don't even know why I came, (Don't even know),
I can't remember your name, (Who you are)

Everyone's a robot when you're a zombie,
(Don't even know who you are),
Everyone's a robot when you're a zombie,
(Don't even know),
You look like someone's been shot,
You look like someone you're not,
Everyone's a robot when you're a zombie x 9,

Bye, bye, Mister No-one,
Bye, bye, Mister Woebegone,
Bye, bye, Mister No one,
Bye, bye, Mister Woebegone,
Bye, bye,

(Stony)
