The Beautiful South - The Opening Of A New Book lyrics

The opening of a new book

A singular wave crashing

The opening of a new book

Sat on your chuff knowing nothing

The opening of a new book

A ticket on a train from nowhere to somewhere

The opening of a new book

Are you Elephant Man or George Michael?

The opening of a new book

A sip, a swig, a gulp, a mouthful, a session, a bender, a life

The opening of a new book

Does this personality have any brakes?

The opening of a new book

Does anyone know who oils the brakes?

Are you supposed to oil them yourself?

Can you whisky? Can you gin?

Can you speed without brakes?

Are you cancelled? Are you taken?

Can you whisky? Can you gin?

Can you speed without brakes?

Can anyone repair me?

Can you whisky? Can you gin?

Can you speed without brakes?

Are you cancelled? Are you taken in?

Can you whisky? Can you gin?

Can you speed without brakes?

Can anyone repair me?
