Robert Wyatt - Shrinkrap lyrics

It takes a weekly packet To keep the shrink in pocket It costs a pretty penny Just to stay afloat It takes a lot of lolly Trying to be jolly When the interest keeps mounting In the bank and in my person It takes a bit of doing Just feeling up to scratch Work work work From dawn to dusk My id is raw My ego breaking From months of toil To separate my real self From its husk Everybody loves me Everyone but me It's costing cash to melt the ice I've sweated blood to hear I'm nice To hear I'm nice It takes a weekly packet To keep the shrink in pocket It costs a pretty penny Just to stay afloat It takes a lot of lolly Trying to be jolly When the interest keeps mounting In the bank and in my person And it takes a bit of doing Just feeling up to scratch Work work work And it's work work work It's work work work From dawn to dusk My id is raw My ego breaking From months of toil To separate my real self From its husk From its husk It takes a bit of doing Just feeling up to scratch Work work work From dawn to dusk It's work work work Work work work Work work work...
