Squeeze - Bonkers lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

I know that I'm bonkers

Stupidity conquers

Forgive me I know not what I do

The cunning behaviour

Takes up every acre

Of emotional cage in the zoo

You know how it goes

The volcano blows

Eruptions hold the duvet down

The words on the lips

The sticking out ribs

As I try to push my weight around

I'm sorry please witness

This act of forgiveness

It's all I can do for her to see

That I was the sad case

A mouse in the rat race

Won't somebody pass me the cheese

The size of her breasts

Like woodpeckers nests

Would comfort me on winter nights

The brains in my pants

Create milli amps

Of pleasure with seconds of delight

I'm bonkers believe me

A Federico Fellini

I'm swinging on the windmills of my mind

Where I have been ground down

I'm still walking down town

I'm leaving all this madness behind

Laid back on the couch

With me the old slouch

For an Oscar on the silent screen

There's no time to waste

As I fill my fat face

With a pizza slice and custard cream

I'm sorry I hurt you

I'm bonkers believe me
