A cripple walks amongst you
|
All you tired human beings
|
He's got all the things a cripple has
|
Not working arms and legs
|
|
And vital parts fall from his system
|
And dissolve in Scottish rain
|
Vitally he doesn't miss them
|
He's too fucked up to care
|
|
Well, is that you in front of me?
|
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
|
You must be a masochist to love a modern leper
|
On his last leg
|
On his last leg
|
|
Well, I crippled your heart a hundred times
|
And still can't work out why
|
You see, I've got this disease I can't shake
|
And I'm just rattling through life
|
|
Well, this is how we do things now
|
Yeah, this is how the modern stay scared
|
So I cut out all the good stuff
|
Yeah, I cut off my foot to spite my leg
|
|
Well, is that you in front of me?
|
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
|
You must be a masochist to love a modern leper
|
On his last leg
|
|
Well, I am ill
|
But I'm not dead
|
And I don't know which of those I prefer
|
Because that limb which I have lost
|
Well, it was the only thing holding me up
|
Holding me up
|
|
Well, I'm lying on the ground now
|
Walking through the only door
|
Well, I have lost my eyesight
|
Like I said I would
|
But I still know
|
|
And that is you in front of me
|
And you are back for even more of exactly the same
|
Well, are you a masochist to love a modern leper
|
On his last leg
|
|
And you are not ill
|
And I'm not dead
|
Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?
|
Just you and me
|
We'll start again
|
And you can tell me all about what you did today
|
What you did today
|
