Graham Parker - Ambiguous lyrics

Well i might seem ambiguous But i don't want to cause a fuss I just want my bread bu*tered on both sides Someone spread this virus All around the world till it got to us And now we just sit back and let things slide So i'm not getting up till i hear the sound Of the whip-poor-will when the sun goes down And the garbage man has been around and gone And the turkey in the oven is good and dumb The river is filled with linoleum And the meek inherit the earth from their friends the scum Ambig ambig ambiguous Oo oo oo ambiguous You might as well remain ambiguous I asked a woman the other day How you gonna vote on election say She said she's gonna go for the man with the nicest tie Well that sounds like she's thinking straight He sounds like the candidate That idea is surely gonna fly So i went down to the hardware store For a bag of nails and a kitchen door And some chicken wire to wrap around my bed I might seem ambiguous But i don't think it's such a curse It's better than sticking your neck out And losing your head Ambig ambig ambiguous Oo oo oo ambiguous Now there's two sides to every coin A head and a tail and a sidelong join I'll take either one when they call the toss I don't care who'll win or lose Makes no difference who you choose You might as well remain ambiguous So i'm not getting up till i hear the sound Of the whip-poor-will when the sun goes down And the garbage man has been around and gone And the turkey in the oven is good and dumb The river is filled with linoleum And the meek inherit the earth from their friends the scum Ambig ambig ambiguous Oo oo oo ambiguous
