Hoover Love

I started on a wednesday I was trying to write a song
When i heard my lover hoovering the front room
It sounded like the sweetest sound i heard in my whole life
That's when my love for hoovers started to bloom
Oooh oooh plastic hoover
Oooh oooh crumb remover
Oooh oooh sounds better than my guitar
oooh oooh i love to hoover
oooh oooh a bit of reverb
oooh oooh but some chorus on
I lead down on the carpet I could not believe the feel
It felt so clean and fresh and free from crumbs
My lover was so happy with me that i'd done my chores
but she wasn't keen when i hovered all night long
24 hours a day i'm just listening to my hoover
and trying all the different pedals out

Walking up the drive way
Feeling for my keys
I see your sexy paint job
It brings me to my knees
I pull on your handle
and you open up your door
I enter into your space
Do you want some more?
Chrous
---------------------
Driving you
I can feel your Power
You can go
100 miles per hour
I like to drive
Late at night
I'm glad your red
As opposed to white
---------------------
Rev the engine gently
I hear you start to purr
I know if you get a flat tyre
that i've got a spare
I roll you off the drive way
I push you into first
I press down on the gas and I
feel i'm about to burst
driving down the street at night
lights are on full beam
I see a little old lady and I
hear her start to scream
I got a little bit close that time
I hope shes ok
I hope she doesn't report me
I've already got some fines to pay

I Swatted a Fly
01:18
|
|
||
|
I stunned a fly
I swatted it down
It hit the water
and it started to drown
I'm not proud of it
in any way
i guess you could say
that i'm kinda ashamed
I swatted a fly
It got into my space
I knocked it onto its face
I hit that old fly
I'm not gonna lie
I was pretty glad
when it decided to die

The Jinx
04:36
|
|
||
|
Body parts wrapped in plastic tight
Torso floating in the water at night
the head's the only thing that wasn't found
but we know he was the baddest mf around
He didn't have a bone saw
I dress as a woman, my secret identity
I'm dressed up real nice, no one will ever knows it's me
I'm quiet, unassuming, but if I get cornered
you'll end up getting shot, or cut up or slaughtered
Now i'm on the run, cuz the cops are on to me
I know my wife went missing but it wasn't me
I got a lot of money from my parents business empire
I'm sure when my time comes i'll be in hells fire
I got my mask and my gun and my fake id
I've got 40,000 dollars of cash on me
my pistol is loaded and i'm ready to run
you won't see me for dust - i'm heading for the cuban sun
CUBA HERE I COME
I hope nobody dares to cross me
You know i never lie intentionally
People die with in a blink of my eye
I never should have sent that note with cadaver inside
I'm the jinx
What the hell did I do?
I killed them all of course

Eating For Two

Hey baby let me take you to school
theres no point whining about the size of your shoes
i've walked a mile in sandles and i've seen the view
you know i'm eating for two
Hey baby what you gonna choose
I threw away the rule book cuz i don't like the rules
Don't you dare talk to me about the blues
because i'm eating for two
Hey where'd you get that big fat bruise
I heard you last week talking about the news
don't look at me like i'm acting the fool
because im smarter than you who

I want
to be left alone
i don't want
Any body bothering me
I want
to be left alone
i'm fed up
of everybody hassling me
I just wanna get
on the bus
I don't want all of this
big big fuss
I just want to be normal again
I just wanna walk
down the street
i'm sick of everybody falling
at my feet
Please don't ask for my autograph
I just wanna go to the shops
I don't wanna have to call the cops
I just wanna be free
I'm sick to death of the paratzi
always taking pictures of me
Please just leave me alone
