Lyrics

Stagger

[Verse 1]

Orange, orange, orange in the mouth again, straighten

Wearing stonewashed denim again, straighten

Carrying something wrapped in plastic, straighten

Curled on the blue velveteen again, straighten, straighten

Sightless yellow highrise, Bethnal Green, straighten

Corner tubeless, dark and wet, straighten

Ten tons slowing in again, straighten

With its glass eyes, a blue Formica halo

Stainless steel between the fingers, straighten

Pissed and leading ponytail, licking Colonel Sanders' fingers

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

The naming of killer boy

[Verse 2]

Everything's going West, nothing's going East, straighten

There's no need to be so uptight, straighten

Make up for all their messes, I could listen to you all day, what a laugh

Cut me, I bleed like you, haha

[Refrain]

The naming of killer boy

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Cover your teeth, I love you

Don't bite me yet, I believe in you

I found you shopping in Europa on Wardour Street

Not phoning packwidth

[Verse 3]

Guilty as sin, straighten

Scratches on paper, pissed in a tubehole, straighten

Smelling of deepfried beans and whispering your name

Tubehole wind in my face, thunderin' gentle distant

Reactor, reactor, do you mind? Straighten

This is a random feature, random feature

This is a random feature

[Refrain]

Naming of killer boy

[Outro]

Wired up

[Instrumental Outro]
