Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott - Moulding Of A Fool lyrics

The play ground bully that forced you That cigarette at school It ain't the nicotine or ash he pushed It was the moulding of a fool That mum and dad once telling you The way you're dressed ain't cool They ain't no genuine fashion tips That's the moulding of a fool The dummy that they shove in mouth As soon as you can speak The pushchair that they strap you in Soon as you find your feet The car advert shorter skirt The film you gotta see That dish to cook the way you look The person you must be The cheapest shop the tightest top The senseless waste of breath Revolution won't be televised And neither will your d**h Revolution won't be televised And neither will your d**h The very first drop of alcohol The taste on tongue so cruel Turns our dreams to plasticine And decent folks to fools The microscope the telescope The study of the j**els It's the cutting of a gem alright It's the moulding of a fool Your d**h will pa** unnoticed Like a hiccup or a cough Like the news of a mother mourning loss When televisions off The car advert shorter skirt The film you gotta see That dish to cook the way you look The person you must be The cheapest shop the tightest top The senseless waste of breath Revolution won't be televised And neither will your d**h Revolution won't be televised And neither will your d**h But written on the gravestone Tattooed upon your neck Is stay within the yellow lines And don't wear stripe with check The car advert shorter skirt The film you gotta see That dish to cook the way you look The person you must be The cheapest shop the tightest top The senseless waste of breath Revolution won't be televised And neither will your d**h Revolution won't be televised And neither will your d**h Put sunroof down on car Turn the music loud And think that acting proud or rich Will stand us from the crowd
