Pay Attention

We'd go out at lunchtime we'd get wrecked We were destroyed, if not shipwrecked She's a miserable bitch, with a hell of a body Got arrested when we were ten I escaped my old life still standing up Acid wouldn't let us light a spliff I'm not a driver babe, I never have been The cars in the field were shape shifting We had a five minute paranoia trip We bombed up the stairs but it took ages I said hey fellers what shall I do with the plant Y'all said "smoke it man" - but I didn't inhale none I've changed my mind - Be that as it may Pay attention to me people I've got something that you want me to say The musically deprived are in tonight Either that or it's deaf week, It's a bed of nails Albania In the morning crush on an overcrowded bus I'm not quite myself as you might have guessed Indulgent, well you could say so But if you've any idea get what's going in my mind We could be heading down the same road Am I making it up as I go along When there's so much to play for Well if it don't work out I'm not afraid I can find a way back 'cause I've been there before I've changed my mind - Be that as it may Pay attention to me people I've got something that you want me to say
