The Furze - Makes Me Smile lyrics

Hey man let me tell you the story of what I used to dream about as a playground boy This is how it goes I wish I was a born eccentric and could do something like, I don't know, write Chinese with my toes I remember I could speak in tongues to an angry baboon, while he's trying to steal honey from protective bees And then at the age of 21 I could crash to my d**h in a rock and roll legacy Wow, the nights is coming dance Wow, gotta show my mane Read me, read me, read me my rights my left hand is punching me in the face There is no case for the defense for a man who wasted his brain in a cosmic phase I've got a swell on, the right side of my brain won't let And I'll tell it I'm gonna have to put another bet on the back of thou might make a spaceship Out of a blue piece of blueprints 1, 2, 3 I'm messing up my head I'm deadpan Looking up a place of simplistic wishes Gonna stick it to em Bang my drum to no war Just love in the back of a limousine Just for an afternoon, my life's a cartoon All long, and colored, and quoted, and drawn And there is something that makes me smile Someone pull me back to land I'm drowning, drowning in the waters of mediocrity And I know that wasn't an ancient genius Who wrote books on great philosophy (uh nuh) Please don't leave here to wilt in the sunshine of ... I need food as delicious as Kentucky Fried Chicken for my soul So I can make history Wow, the nights is coming dance Wow, gotta show my mane Read me, read me, read me my rights my left hand is punching me in the face There is no case for the defense for a man who wasted his brain in a cosmic phase I've got a swell on, the right side of my brain won't let And I'll tell it I'm gonna have to put another bet on the back of thou might make a spaceship Out of a blue piece of blueprints 1, 2, 3 I'm messing up my head I'm deadpan Looking up a place of simplistic wishes Gonna stick it to em Bang my drum to no war Just love in the back of a limousine Just for an afternoon, my life's a cartoon All long, and colored, and quoted, and drawn And there is something that makes me smile 1, 2, 3 I'm messing up my head I'm deadpan Looking up a place of simplistic wishes Gonna stick it to em Bang my drum to no war Just love in the back of a limousine Just for an afternoon, my life's a cartoon All long, and colored, and quoted, and drawn And there is something that makes me smile
