Horrorshow

Then, look, a dream peddlar
and a stick of light through my bones
"Don't get on the wrong one"
"Oi you and you what's your game"

Laying me down to waste
Laying me down
now you can pin me up or put me down uh uh uh uh oh
Now let it all go:

It's a horrorshow
you should come on round
horrorshow, the horse is brown uh uh oh
left something in Moscow

She said: "I'll show you a picture
a picture of tomorrow
there's nothing changing it's all sorrow"
oh no please don't show me
I'm a swine you don't wanna know me...

Still I've been following following your mind's instructions
on how...

Alternate lyrics:

Rhythm Factory gig 17 January 2007

Well I've been following
I've been following your mind's instructions
On how to slowly sharply screw myself to death

Cos there's a screw
Here's the fuck off big screw
It's pointed at my head

Then, look, a dream peddlar
Sends a stick of light through my bones
Don't get on the wrong one, she said
Oi you, what's your game?

See me and the envy (?)
And see if you feel the same

But it's a horrorshow
You should come on round
There's a horrorshow, the horse is brown
Uh uh uh uh oh I left something in Moscow

Horrorshow, come on 'round
Horrorshow, the horse is brown
Uh uh uh uh oh left something in Moscow

She said, I'll show you a picture
A picture of tomorrow
There's nothing changing it's all sorrow
Oh no, don't show me
I'm a swine you don't wanna know me
(No?)

Still I've been following
I've been following your mind's instructions
On how to slowly but sharply oh
Screw myself to death

Cos there's a screw called Mrs. Patterson
Oh, she's pointed at my head

Lay me up or lay me down or
You pick me up or you're puttin' me down
(Oh, that was a yes)
Uh uh uh uh oh let it all go

You've been layin' me down to waste, layin' me down now
Oh you pick me up or you put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh I left something in Moscow

And everyone will let me go
... bring (?) me down
Uh uh uh uh oh I left something in Moscow

Oh you lay me down to waste, lay me down
Or you're pickin' me up or you're puttin' me down
Uh uh uh uh oh I left something in Moscow

Horrorshow, come on 'round
Horrowshow, the horse is brown
Uh uh la-di-da
