I woke up late and found my liberty lost 

It had been written down in law as a security cost 

28 days - I'm presumed guilty 

I'm sure as evolution that I wasn't born guilty 



Hold me in the river till my skin turns blue 

Slap me on the back and say "Now how do you do?" 

They say "Eamon tell us how to keep our garden growing" 

I say "Try lying on the grass thinking of Scarlett Johansson" 



Throw me to the deck and count backwards from ten 

Slap me round the face and say "Now do it again" 

I'm all trained up, yeah, I'm ready for the ring 

They'll be arriving in capes and leaving in slings 



Come on, tick your ticker 

Let me know you're alive 

There's very little point in being here otherwise 

Can you tell me now, what is this love? 

If it comes from above 

Why does it have to be so painful?
