Lyrics

Showboat

Minds of bitter if you want me
Minds a bitter every day
I ain't a showboat but you are
And I'll die spitting in green into your face

I heard that Rome was moved to London
I heard the monkeys hit the train
I ain't a showboat but you are
And I'll die laughing my tits off in your face

Showboat in the magazine
Showboat in a trendy fanzine
Showboat says I ain't got a lot
Shut your mouth, babe, and fuck off

Cheap Keith Richards in your bell-bottoms
And loads of models smoking fags
I ain't a showboat but you are
And I'll die with these eyes over these bags

I heard that Rome was moved to London
I heard the monkeys hit the train
I ain't a showboat but you are
And I'll die laughing my tits off in your face

Showboat in the magazine
Showboat in a trendy fanzine
Showboat says I ain't got a lot
Shut your mouth, babe, and fuck off

Showboat in the magazine
Showboat in a trendy fanzine
Showboat says I ain't got a lot
Shut your mouth, babe, and fuck off
