lyrics

She told me that she’d meet me at the station
I waited ‘round for hours but she never came
Now as you might guess I was a mite impatient now
A little more than hurt...
Let’s just say despaired

I don’t understand you girl and I prob’ly never will
Why do the other girls only seem
To make me think of you?

The world’s an oyster yeah and I’m a pearl
You’re just the native diver girl
‘Cause you irritate me….
Cut me from my shell
I’m threaded on a chain of mollusc fools

This is the Summer of Fools
And there’s no rags to riches
You’re the goddess bitch dog
With your coven of witches

The world’s a ball and I’m the chain
You’re just a prisoner of sad times
Well I’m not here to pick you up if it begins to rain
Who pays for these impassioned crimes?

You don’t understand me girl
You prob’ly never will
I come from another world
Where the trolls sing their song to the lonely hills
