Spots of blood on the basin
You never let me in on the conversation
You were having with yourself
You never know what might have helped
Now I want to hoover my brain clean
I don't need these half-remembered verses
"Down in Mexico" by The Coasters
"Sh-Boom" by The Chords
The Cadillacs singing "Speedoo" of course
The little hairs on your arm
That I stroked even while I slept
The little kisses that I kissed on your neck
Now I want to hoover my brain clean
I used to be the most argumentative little man
I used to be argumentative and I still am
But you, you calmed my mind
When you took my hand
You were so kind
Now I want to hoover my brain clean
Now I want to hoover my brain clean
